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 29 to enable ALC.
The available reading rooms for your Mammo Tomosynthesis are:
CR/DR/ MAMMO
Corresponds to light conditions in diagnostic
reading rooms for computed radiology, digital
radiology or mammography. This setting has the
lowest maximum ambient light.
CT/MR/NM
Corresponds to light conditions in diagnostic
reading rooms for computed tomography, magnetic
resonance or nuclear medicine scans.
Staff Of
fi
ce
Corresponds to light conditions in of
fi
ce rooms.
Clinical Viewing Room
Corresponds to light conditions in diagnostic
reading rooms for clinical viewing.
Emergency Room
Corresponds to light conditions in emergency
rooms.
Operating Room
Corresponds to light conditions in operating rooms.
This setting has the highest maximum ambient light.
To select a reading room:
1. Bring up the OSD main menu.
2. Navigate to the

5.18 Continuous ALC
About Continuous ALC
Continuous ALC can only be selected when the DICOM display function is selected.
Therefore, please refer to "Display functions", page 28 to correctly set the display func-
tion.
Enabling continuous ALC will continuously recalculate the DICOM display function taking the averaged
ambient light into account.
To select continuous ALC:
1. Bring up the OSD main menu.
2. Navigate to the
Con
fi
guration > Calibration > Ambient Light
menu.
3. Enter the
Continuous ALC
submenu.
