Data-Ray Announces Partnership with Eizo Nanao for Precision 3MX.Health & Medical Editors/Writers WESTMINSTER, Colo.--(BW HealthWire)--Nov. 8, 2001 Data Ray Corporation of Westminster, Colo., and Eizo Nanao Corporation of Matto, Japan have agreed to jointly develop a 20.8", three-mega-pixel high-resolution LCD flat panel for diagnostic imaging. The Precision 3MX display system will include an Eizo 3 mega-Pixel LCD Flat Panel display A thin display screen for computer and TV usage. The first flat panels appeared on laptop computers in the mid-1980s, and the LCD technology became the standard. Stand-alone LCD screens became available for desktop computers in the mid-1990s and exceeded sales of CRTs for the first time , Data-Ray DR. KAL Calibration Software and a Real Vision digital graphic controller. The system is scheduled for full production in Q1 of 2002. The Precision 3M offers 10.5 Bit gray scale (1531 shades of Noun 1. shades of - something that reminds you of someone or something; "aren't there shades of 1948 here?" reminder - an experience that causes you to remember something gray), yielding images superbly calibrated cal·i·brate tr.v. cal·i·brat·ed, cal·i·brat·ing, cal·i·brates 1. To check, adjust, or determine by comparison with a standard (the graduations of a quantitative measuring instrument): to the DICOM (medical, standard) DICOM - (From Digital Imaging and COmmunications in Medicine) A standard developed by ACR-NEMA (American College of Radiology - National Electrical Manufacturer's Association) for communications between medical imaging devices. standard for soft copy viewing. The Precision 3M delivers luminance The amount of brightness, measured in lumens, that is given off by a pixel or area on a screen. For example, dark red and bright red would have the same chrominance, but a different luminance. of 204 FL (700 cd/m2) and a high contrast ratio of 600:1 for exceptional image quality in a variety of environments. The Automatic brightness stabilizing circuitry minimizes fluctuations in brightness caused by internal and environmental temperatures. A wide viewing angle of 170 degrees allows for comfortable viewing from virtually any angle or by large groups. Included with the Precision 3M is DR. KAL, Data-Ray's innovative calibration software, which guarantees DICOM compliance and assures consistency over time and among several monitors in a single system. Data-Ray Corporation will be the exclusive distributor of this system in the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America.
