More information about RadiCS application classes and monitorsFor a long time now, radiologists have no longer had to be physically on site in the hospital to make their diagnosis. However, teleradiological diagnosis workplaces are subject to the same high legal requirements as hospitals are. EIZO RadiForce monitors offer the perfect conditions for teleradiological diagnosis.

Frequently asked questions
What tools does EIZO provide for quality assurance for image display devices in medical applications?
EIZO has developed the RadiCS software specifically for quality assurance for image display devices in the RadiForce range. It offers extensive tests and automatic alignment to guarantee constant and consistent image reproduction on all RadiForce LCD monitors, but also supports screens from other manufacturers. The software automatically executes test images and helps to perform measurements and assessments in accordance with the guidelines in a cost-effective and time-effective manner. For example, measurement results are automatically transferred to the documentation and archived and can be centrally managed using the optional RadiNET Pro software. A calendar with a reminder function ensures timely checks are performed. A suitable measurement device is required to measure the luminance, including veiling luminance. Measured values from various luminance meters are automatically read by RadiCS.
For what regions of the body and what methods or purpose is a RadiForce screen suitable in accordance with DIN 6868-157?
Depending on the body region / methods, different EIZO RadiForce screens are suitable for image display systems in accordance with DIN 6868-157. The EIZO RadiCS quality assurance software is divided into classes I to VIII. The following table shows a classification of suitable screens in this regard.
Note: An acceptance test is necessary for each image display system for an evaluation in accordance with DIN 6868-157.
What is the allocation of body regions / methods in accordance with DIN 6868-157 to RadiCS application classes and what are the minimum requirements for an image display device?
In accordance with DIN 6868-157, different minimum requirements are placed on image display devices depending on the body region / method. The EIZO RadiCS quality assurance software is divided into classes I to VIII. The following table shows a classification of the classes and minimum requirements in this regard.
Note: An acceptance test is necessary for each image display system for an evaluation in accordance with DIN 6868-157.
What does the DIN 6868-157 standard govern?
DIN V 6868-157. This DIN governs the acceptance test and constancy test for image display systems in radiography in order to ensure the necessary image quality.
From where can I obtain the QA guidelines?
From the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety
