About reading rooms
Reading rooms can only be selected when the DICOM display function is selected.
Therefore, please refer to "Display functions", page 25 to correctly set the display
function.
The American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) composed a list of pre-de fi ned reading rooms.
Each of these reading rooms are de fi ned by following parameters:
• the maximum light allowed in this type of room
• the preset ambient light correction value for this reading room
These parameters are stored in your display and determine the preset ambient light correction value to
take into account to recalculate the DICOM display function when Ambient Light Compensation (ALC) is
enabled. Please refer to "Ambient Light Compensation (ALC)", page 26 to enable ALC.
The available reading rooms for your Coronis Fusion 4MP / 6MP are:
CR/DR/ MAMMO Corresponds to light conditions in diagnostic
