  3. Consistent Presentation of Images Objectives • Consistent distribution of Images across the healthcare enterprise • Consistency among Hardcopy Images Printed on different Printers (from different Vendors). • Consistency among Softcopy Images view on different Display devices (from different Vendors). • Consistency among Hardcopy and Softcopy Image view • This IHE Integration Profile is the cost effective solution to ensure that image quality is maintained across different monitors and film producing devices. HIMSS / RSNA

  4. Consistent Presentation of Images Requires: 1 • Calibration of the Softcopy Display and the Hardcopy Output Devices using DICOM Grayscale Standard Display Function • Creating Hardcopy Output Using DICOM Basic Print with Presentation LUT Support • Saving the Softcopy Display Viewing Parameters using DICOM Grayscale Softcopy Presentation State 2 3 HIMSS / RSNA

  5. The Grayscale Image Presentation Problems: Device capabilities/ characteristics vary * Device Luminance range * Display Characteristic Curve:DDL -> Luminance * Device Display Resolution: Non-Standard Interpretation of Pixel value to Output Device Luminance HIMSS / RSNA

  6. The Grayscale Consistency Problem: • The appearance of grayscale images displayed on different types of softcopy display devices or printed on different types of hardcopy output devices is in general inconsistent and at times may impact clinical perception HIMSS / RSNA

  7. The Grayscale Consistency Problem: • Optimal image viewing parameters (e.g. window/ level) selected on one device appear different when displayed on a different device • Device capabilities/ characteristics vary - the same number of gray levels cannot be rendered or perceived on different devices • Displayed images look different from printed images • …other HIMSS / RSNA

  8. Problems of Inconsistency • VOI chosen on one display device • Rendered on another with different display • Mass expected to be seen is no longer seen mass visible mass invisible Slide Provided by David Clunie HIMSS / RSNA

  9. Problems of Inconsistency 0.5 1.0 • Not all display levelsare perceivable on alldevices 1.5 3.0 Slide Provided by David Clunie HIMSS / RSNA

  11. Digital Modality Laser Printer Problems of Inconsistency • Printed images don’t looklike displayed images Slide Provided by David Clunie HIMSS / RSNA

  12. Causes of Inconsistency • Display devicesvary in the maximumluminance they canproduce • Display CRT vs. film on a light box is an extreme example 1.0 .66 Slide Provided by David Clunie HIMSS / RSNA

  13. Standardize Display Systems to Achieve Grayscale Consistency, Hardcopy Output and Softcopy Viewing Devices Have to Be Properly Calibrated The DICOM Standard Defines: A standard curve, the Grayscale Standard Display Function (GSDF), against which different types of display and hardcopy output devices should be calibrated 1 HIMSS / RSNA

  14. The GSDF Standard Characteristic Display Systems Curve The GSDF transformation defines the mapping of the P-values to the view Luminance or optical density value, and preserving the Human perceptual response, based on the Human Contrast Sensitivity. 1 HIMSS / RSNA

  27. Association Negotiation - “Contract Agreement” Agreed set of SOP Classes and Transfer Syntaxes ( Basic Print Meta SOP Class) Print (SCP) Print (SCU) Basic Print Meta SOP Class consist of four SOP Classes (Film Session, Film Box, Image Box, and Printer) N-Create (create film sheet, format printer) Film Sheet N-Set (place images on film sheet) N-Action (request to print the film sheet) N-Event-Report (status of the printer) Basic Print Management Meta SOP Class Slide Provided by Don Van Syckle HIMSS / RSNA

  29. Print Composer 23 Print Request withPresentation LUT Print Server Basic Print Request with Presentation LUT • IHE Transaction - a Print Composer Actor issues a DICOM Print request to a Print Server Actor. The Print request includes a Presentation LUT for display consistency. HIMSS / RSNA

  30. Basic Print Request with Presentation LUT • Print Composer – A system that generates DICOM print requests as a DICOM Print SCU. Print composer has to apply image processing manipulations, and requests to Print server will specify P-Values in the form of Presentation Look-Up Tables (Presentation LUTs) or implicitly by Presentation LUT Shape. • Print Server – A system that accepts and processes DICOM print requests as a DICOM Print SCP and performs image rendering on hardcopy media. The system must support pixel rendering to optical density according to the DICOM Grayscale Standard Display Function. HIMSS / RSNA

  31. Basic Print Request with Presentation LUT • Required transaction for both Print Composer and Print Server Actors • Print Composer shall be grouped with one of the following: • Acquisition Modality Actor • Image Manager Actor • Image Display Actor • Image Creator Actor HIMSS / RSNA

  32. To Achieve Consistent Presentation of Images, the DICOM Standard Defines: 3 • Grayscale Softcopy Presentation State (GSPS), an object for storing and communicating the parameters that describe how an image or set of images should be displayed. A GSPS object contains references to the images it applies to, and the transformations (grayscale transformations, shutter transformation, image annotation, spatial transformations, and displayed area annotation) that should be applied when the images are presented on a softcopy display, or printed on film.

  35. Grayscale Softcopy Presentation State: • Composite object containing the image display settings parameters • Composite object links to one or more images (Series, filters); stored using same Study Instance UID (same Storage SOP Class!) • Uses regular Storage services (C-STORE); uses Query/Retrieve services • GSPS SOP Instances are immutable: changes require a new SOP Instance UID • Note: generation and specific application of GSPS is outside the scope of DICOM, but not outside the scope of IHE (e.g. Presentation of Grouped Procedures) HIMSS / RSNA
