4.2. Application: Medical monitors
The correct assessment of medical imaging monitors in a diagnostic station requires the
use of the luminance meter whose technical solutions and metrological parameters
comprise all aspects related to various designs of monitor matrices. The meter of this
kind is the SONOPAN LMC-10 which is, above all, intended for this type of tests as it
guarantees very high measurement accuracy. The LMC-10 contact luminance meter
meets the guidelines of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) as
well as the users’ expectations.
The manufacturer still has assigned for the L-200 probe the rights to the application of
medical monitors because its metrological parameters conform to the requirements of
this type of tests. Another condition for luminance measurement is the use of the
suitable adapter.
All the detailed information is included in the instruction manuals for the control units.
4.3. Application: Measurements memory
The control units are used to archive the measurements conducted with the use of the
LMC-10 probe. It is possible to save one single measurement or chosen measurements as
well as to create the measurement history log within any time interval.
All the detailed information is included in the instruction manuals for the control units.
4.4. Application: Advanced
4.4.1. Relative measurement
The control units enable to conduct and archive the measurements whose results are
expressed as a percentage of any reference. It is possible to save one single
measurement or chosen measurements as well as to create the measurement history log
within any time interval.
All the detailed information is included in the instruction manuals for the control units.
4.4.2. Integration
The control units are used to conduct and archive the measurements which are the time
integral of the partial results. The last result or the whole measurement history log can
be saved to the memory.
All the detailed information is included in the instruction manuals for the control units.
4.4.3. Statistics
The control units enable to conduct and archive the measurements as well as to make
simple statistical operations on the results. The last result or the whole measurement
history log can be saved to the memory.
All the detailed information is included in the instruction manuals for the control units.
5. CALIBRATION AND ADJUSTMENT
Calibration is the comparison of the measured values with those of a calibration
standard of known accuracy. On the basis of this comparison, the calibration factor is
calculated and saved to the measuring probe. The control units allow the User to
conduct the adjustment procedure of the LMC-10 measurement probe. The procedure
should be conducted by a competent laboratory equipped with the suitable instruments
