Barco Introduces Color PACS Display System with Increased Brightness



Barco introduces color PACS display system with increased brightness
European Congress of Radiology, Vienna, Austria, 6 March 2009 - On the occasion of this year's ECR congress, Barco reveals an upgraded version of the Nio Color 3MP diagnostic display system, featuring a high-bright LCD panel. This advancement opens new possibilities for radiologists to read their multi-modality studies with more accuracy.

Diagnostic color modalities - such as 3D PACS, 3D echo, ultrasound, CAD, nuclear medicine and PET - are quickly being adopted in the day-to-day radiology practice. This evolution inspired Barco to develop a full range of high-performance color PACS display systems. With the launch of the new generation Nio Color 3MP display station, Barco complements this offering with a 3 MegaPixel display that fits every budget.

"The Nio Color 3MP display system targets radiology departments looking for a dependable, industry-standard visualization system that offers them the full benefits of color imaging," explains Geert Carrein, Director Product Management at Barco. "Thanks to its high-bright luminance of 400 cd/m² (calibrated) throughout its entire life time and its excellent color accuracy, Nio Color 3MP is an ideal visualization solution for multi-modality workstations handling 3D PACS, 3D echo, ultrasound, orthopedic imaging, CAD, image fusion, nuclear medicine and PET."

Users of the Nio Color 3MP will welcome the new, built-in system for uniformity correction. Thanks to this feature, images are presented with more uniform luminance, which enhances diagnostic precision and facilitates compliance with regional QA standards.

Furthermore, the new Nio Color 3MP system inherits the proven benefits that characterize all Nio displays such as exceptional image quality and backlight stabilization. Furthermore, the monitor's valuable LCD technology is protected against damage by means of a protective front cover. This non-reflective cover improves the image contrast, keeps reflections low and allows for easy and safe cleaning.

Just like all other Barco diagnostic displays, Nio Color 3MP comes standard with a 5-year warranty. In addition, it is supplied with Barco's user-friendly MediCal QAWeb tool for DICOM calibration, Quality Assurance and asset management. The free 'Essential' level allows you to easily change QA policies (e.g. white luminance) through a remote calibration. When opting for the 'Premium' level, remote capabilities further include full remote QA, extended notifications and reports.
