DICOM
(Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine)
The DICOM standard was developed by the American College of Radiology and the
National Electrical Manufacturer's Association of the USA.
A DICOM-compatible device connection enables the transfer of medical images and
information. Part 14 of DICOM defines the standards for digital, grayscale medical
image display.
DVI
(Digital Visual Interface)
A digital flat panel interface. DVI can transmit digital data without loss and directly
from the PC using the signal transition method “TMDS” (see p. 40).
There are two kinds of DVI connectors: the DVI-D connector for digital signal input
only, and the DVI-I connector for both digital and analog signal inputs.
DVI DMPM
(DVI Digital Monitor Power Management)
The Power management system for the digital interface. The “Monitor ON” status
(operation mode) and the “Active Off” status (power-saving mode) are indispensable
for the DVI-DMPM as the monitor's power mode.
Gain Adjustment
Adjusts each color parameter for red, green and blue. The color of the LCD monitor
is displayed through the color filter of the LCD panel. Red, green and blue are the
three primary colors. The colors on the monitor are displayed by combining these
three colors. The color tone can change by adjusting the illumination amount passed
through each color's filter.
Gamma
Gamma generally refers to the nonlinear relationship between the light intensity
values and the input signal level for a monitor. On the screen, low gamma values
produce whitish images and high gamma values produce high-contrast images.
Resolution
The LCD panel consists of a fixed number of pixel elements which are illuminated to
form the screen image. The EIZO R31 display panel consists of 1536 horizontal
pixels and 2048 vertical pixels. At a resolution of 1536 x 2048, all pixels are
displayed as a full screen.
As a standard default space, sRGB allows Internet users to closely match colors.
