9. Consistent Presentation of Images IHE Objectives Consistent distribution of Images across the healthcareenterprise : • 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 The cost effective solution to ensure that image quality is maintained acrossdifferentmonitors and film producing devices.

10. Consistent Presentation of Images Requires: • 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 • Preserving/Using the Softcopy Display Viewing Parameters in the DICOM Grayscale Softcopy Presentation State container Cal Hard Soft IHE Europe Educational Event

11. Achieve Grayscale Consistency in Hardcopy Output and Softcopy Viewing 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 – Adjust their Characteristic Curve to the GSDF curve. Cal Devices Have to Be Properly Calibrated IHE Europe Educational Event

16. 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 a Presentation Look-Up Table (Presentation LUT) 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.

17. To Achieve Consistent Presentation of Images, the DICOM Standard Defines: Soft 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.
