Two new 20.8-inch, 3-megapixel liquid crystal display monitors were introduced at the RSNA meeting by U.S. Electronics and Totoku of Japan.
The CCL350i color display is suitable for viewing high-resolution color 3D images or monochrome ultrasound and endoscopic procedures. It has a 2048 x 1536 native resolution, maximum brightness of 400 nits, 10-bit (1021 gray-scale tones) capability, and viewing angle of 170°. The monitor displays 16.8 million colors and provides a contrast ratio of 450:1, digital visual interface, and portrait and landscape views.
The ME351i monochrome LCD offers the same large-screen size and image resolution as the color display. With a maximum brightness of 700 nits and contrast ratio of 900:1, 11.9-bit or 3826 gray-scale tone resolution, and digital visual interface, it is intended for viewing general radiology scans.
Both monitors use Totoku's lambda-Sentinel II Front sensor technology, which combines a front luminance sensor and an internal temperature sensor to eliminate fluctuations in backlight by continually collecting, analyzing, and adjusting luminance levels.
Seven Takeaways from Meta-Analysis of PSMA Radiotracers for Prostate Cancer Imaging
December 1st 2023In a newly published meta-analysis of 24 studies, researchers noted that the PSMA PET radiotracer 18F PSMA-1007 may provide more benefit than 68Ga Ga-PSMA-11 for primary staging of patients with prostate cancer and detection of local lesion recurrence, but also has drawbacks with higher liver uptake and multiple reports of false positive bone lesions.
Study: Regular Mammography Screening Reduces Breast Cancer Mortality Risk by More than 70 Percent
November 30th 2023Consistent adherence to the five most recent mammography screenings prior to a breast cancer diagnosis reduced breast cancer death risk by 72 percent in comparison to women who did not have the mammography screening, according to new research findings presented at the annual Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.
Chest CT Study Shows Higher Emphysema Risk from Combination of Marijuana and Cigarette Smoking
November 28th 2023People who smoke marijuana and cigarettes have 12 times the risk for centrilobular emphysema than non-smokers, according to new computed tomography (CT) research presented at the annual Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.
