DICal Service
You can use the DICal service to adjusts the characteristic curve of
the Dome GX2MP Plus, Dome GX2MP, and select desktop displays
(such as models PX1910M and PX212M) to conform to the DICOM
Grayscale Standard Display Function.
The configuration of the service provides an option for default DICOM
calibration (for viewing diagnostic images), which is adequate for
many applications. For additional calibration accuracy or to verify
calibration, you can purchase the optional LCD or LCD II photometer
and use the DICal service to perform custom calibration based on
the actual luminance values of your display.
In addition to the DICOM response function, you can choose to use
the exponential, gamma, or original response function. When you
add all functions to the CXtra Services menu, you can switch quickly
from one response function to another. Moving from one response
function to another causes an immediate change to the display
calibration.
The DICal service also allows you to test your calibrated display to
verify that it conforms to the DICOM standard.
NOTE: See “Enabling DICOM Calibration on Third-Party Monitors” on
page 95 if you are using a third-party monitor.
To facilitate the configuration of multiple displays, you can export the
characterization data from one system to another.
NOTE: During the characterization or calibration process, you can
skip or ignore non-DICal displays on the system.
