Things to Know about Medical Grade Monitors Surgeons, physicians, radiologists- these medical professionals depend on medical monitors for diagnostic, surgical and treatment purposes. These medical specialists require medical grade monitors for superior and consistent performance of the image display system.
LCD Technologies Used in Monitors • TN panel: Twisted Nematic (TN) panels are the oldest panels and also the cheapest ones since they are easy to manufacture. These monitors have a fast response time but low image accuracy. • IPS panel: In-Plane Switching monitor panels have better color reproduction, better readability and exceptional color stability even at wide viewing angles. • VA Panel: Vertical Alignment (VA) panels offer better light transmittance and color reproduction, but fares poorly in contrast at extreme viewing angles.
LCD Technologies Used in Monitors • MVA Panel: Multi-Domain Vertical Alignment panel is a combination of a VA panel and a compensation film. It offers great image quality even at the widest viewing angle. • AFFS Panel: Advanced Fringe Field Switching (AFFS) panels offer excellent color reproduction, good contrasts and minimum color distortion even at extreme viewing angles.
Choice of Panels The choice of panel used in the monitor is essential for two things. • It determines whether the monitor is good at color reproduction for superior accuracy of diagnostic images. • It determines whether the monitor is responsive and fast which can be crucial during surgeries.
Types of Medical Monitors • Surgical grade medical monitor: These medical monitors have quick response time rate since surgeons depend on them to visualize the movement of the instruments and the condition of the tissue during surgery. These monitors come with 300-500 nits of brightness antimicrobial coating to prevent spread of germs.
Types of Medical Monitors • Radiology-Diagnostic grade medical monitor: Since radiologists need the best possible color reproduction and contrast, these monitors are built to match those requirements. They reproduce color with the least variations, true blacks and grays.
Types of Medical Monitors • Medical touchscreen monitor: These monitors are used by medical specialists as a secondary display for PACS quality control. These are multi-purpose monitors and are used for patient edutainment, HER and electronic documentation.
