(Booth 4022) Eizo Nanao Technologies of Cypress, CA, will unveil two new models at RSNA, the RadiForce RX320 and the RadiForce RS110 color LCD monitors.
RadiForce RX320 is a 3-megapixel model designed to display both color and monochrome images, including chest computed radiography and 3D color rendering and image fusion. RadiForce RS110 is a 1-megapixel monitor for viewing CT, MR, and ultrasound images. It succeeds the RadiForce R12 and offers a wider viewing angle at 176°, as well as a larger contrast ratio designed to deepen blacks and enhance colors and more brightness.
RS110 sports a 19-inch screen and uses a new in-plane switching panel with almost no noticeable color shift when viewing the screen from oblique angles, according to the company.
Eizo Nanao incorporates its latest application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) into RadiForce RX320, containing a digital uniformity equalizer (DUE) function to compensate for brightness nonuniformity. DUE not only corrects brightness unevenness for every grayscale tone to ensure even uniformity across the screen, but it also corrects chromaticity unevenness, enabling the color monitor to display accurate grayscale images anywhere on the screen, according to Eizo Nanao.
Eizo Nanao's brightness stabilization function quickly stabilizes the brightness level at start-up or upon wake-up and compensates for brightness fluctuations caused by ambient temperature and the passage of time, the company noted.
Other features include a CAL Switch function that enables the selection of various calibration modes from the front panel buttons for different modality images, such as digital subtraction angiography, MRI, and CT, and a dual-link input support that reproduces a smooth moving picture without any frame dropping. End users switch between modes by pressing a button on the front bezel or using the bundled ScreenManager Pro for Medical software to assign a mode to a specific application.
Both new models are scheduled for mass production in February 2009, but Eizo Nanao added that availability will vary by country.
