PerfectLum

The displays used in medical imaging are the target of PerfectLum, a DICOM calibration tool. It performs calibration, acceptance and conformance tests, with the aim of keeping the performance of every medical workstation consistent.

Keeping displays within international standards

Healthcare professionals use PerfectLum to hold their displays to published quality standards. The ones named in its description are AAPM TG18, DIN 6868-57, the draft DIN 6868-157 standard, JESRA X-0093 and IEC 62563-1. Acceptance tests check a display when it is installed, and conformance tests show whether it still meets the standard as time passes.

Managing many screens from one place

PerfectLum contains built-in remote management. A system administrator can monitor and control displays from a single location instead of visiting each workstation, which matters for hospitals and clinics where many radiology screens must stay in step. The description presents the product as a way to maintain consistent image display across all such workstations.
