About EIZO GmbH

Based in Karlsruhe, Germany, EIZO GmbH, Display Technologies is a leading manufacturer of monitor products for medical imaging applications. The company’s lineup includes color and grayscale monitors from 1 to 5 megapixels, calibration tools, and graphics boards. EIZO GmbH is a subsidiary of Eizo Nanao Corporation, a leading global manufacturer of high-end display monitors for medical, graphics, financial, air traffic control and other markets.

Karlsruhe, Germany, September 14, 2009 – EIZO GmbH, Display Technologies today expanded its portfolio of medical surgical monitors by announcing the RadiForce LX470W, a 2 megapixel widescreen monitor.

The RadiForce LX470W features a 1920 × 1080 native
resolution, 47 inch screen, 1000:1 contrast ratio, 700 cd/m2
brightness, and 178° viewing angles. The monitor is ideally
suited for displaying DICOM X-rays or serving as a repeater monitor in surgical or endoscopic use. In addition to its versatility in the operating room, the monitor can be used for viewing images in conference and training rooms.

As with all EIZO medical monitors, the RadiForce LX470W comes precalibrated from the factory. Five integrated and calibrated look up tables (LUTs) make it possible to store gamma settings in the monitor, thus allowing the use of standard graphics cards. In all five LUTs, the medical procedure-based calibrated data is initially stored at a high resolution and, together with a wide range of possible input and output signals, allows the monitor to be used under the most varied environmental conditions.

The simultaneous display of different picture sources as Picture-in-Picture (PiP) or Picture-and-Picture (PaP) using the widescreen format provides flexible viewing of both live video or archived images anywhere reference pictures are required. The high quality RadiForce LX470W is specifically designed for 24-hour operation. The monitor’s waterproof front panel and fanless functional design provide for easy cleaning and disinfection, as well as use in a sterile hospital environment.

In the field, the monitors can be adjusted and calibrated to comply with standards such as CIE and DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) using the SMfit Total Care calibration and settings tool bundled with the monitor. The RadiForce LX470W also features fully automated brightness stability thanks to EIZO’s Internal Stability System (ISS).

For customer assurance, the RadiForce LX470W complies with stringent medical, safety, and EMC emission standards. In addition, EIZO’s quality management system for medical devices is ISO 13485 certified.

Mass production of the RadiForce LX470W is scheduled for quarter one of 2010. Availability varies by country so please contact the EIZO subsidiary or distributor in your country for details.

About EIZO GmbH

Based in Karlsruhe, Germany, EIZO GmbH, Display Technologies is a leading manufacturer of monitor products for medical imaging applications. The company’s lineup includes color and grayscale monitors from 1 to 8 megapixels, calibration tools, and graphics boards. EIZO GmbH is a subsidiary of Eizo Nanao Corporation, a leading global manufacturer of high-end display monitors for medical, graphics, financial, and other markets.

Karlsruhe, Germany, November 7, 2011 – EIZO GmbH presents the SMD 19102 DL, a grayscale monitor with a Last Image Hold (LIH) function. This 1 megapixel monitor is specially designed for connecting to legacy radiography systems that do not have an LIH function. This function reduces radiation exposure for patients and radiologists.

The SMD 19102 DL grayscale monitor features a 1280 x 1024 pixel native resolution and 19 inch screen in classic 5:4 format. The integrated LIH function saves the last image displayed in internal image memory. After the radiographic exposure, the X-ray tube can be switched off and the still image evaluated. This represents a significant reduction in radiation exposure for the patient and physician, and allows for more time to view individual exposures.

By upgrading legacy systems with this monitor, the purchase of an expensive external image memory is unnecessary because the monitor performs the LIH function. Through an additional switching output, other devices such as a printer or recorder can be controlled as well.

The SMD 19102 DL can process various digital and analog input signals and therefore can be connected to new and legacy systems alike. Various tonal value curves are stored in the monitor at the factory, enabling image rendition that is both DICOM/CIE compliant and adapted to the medical practice. The monitor also has a Force Mode function so it can be adapted to the very complex timing of legacy systems.

See product page for more details.

The SMD 19102 DL is already in production. Availability varies by country so please contact the EIZO subsidiary or distributor in your country for details. Visitors to Medica 2011 in Düsseldorf, Germany will be able to see the new product for the first time in the EIZO booth, Hall 10, #G41.

In Germany, the X-ray ordinance (Röntgenverordnung) has mandated the use of the Last Image Hold Function since March 1, 2011, even for legacy systems. In the USA, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the use of LIH in Document 21CFR1020.32(j). The Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulates the permissible radiation dose in Federal Regulation 10CFR20.1301.
