Regular quality checks of the diagnostic reporting environment recommended
Recent updated guidelines ‘Picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) and guidelines on diagnostic display devices, third edition’ from The Royal College of Radiologists contain recommendations in relation to diagnostic display devices and the ergonomic viewing environment, advising that calibration of these devices should not be a one-off. HSL supplies diagnostic reporting solutions and calibration services, and the company can independently assess and maintain installations at hospitals, clinics, offices or in homes.
“To fully meet the RCR guidelines HSL supports the regular use of calibration software complemented by on-site visits to perform calibration at the centre of display, five-point uniformity and physical pattern checks. We can also provide an on-site ergonomic report,” said Chris Morrell, sales manager for Ergo Viewing, part of the HSL group.
