Optimal quality control of image reproduction systems

The RadiCS quality control tool is capable of end-to-end monitor quality management, starting with calibration and acceptance/consistency testing through to network-supported quality assurance management in conjunction with RadiNET Pro. With the measurement sensors in modern RadiForce screens for diagnostic reporting, RadiCS can even fully automate consistency testing. The software is simple, easy to use and can even perform consistency test measurements fully automatically. EIZO offers an integrated solution consisting of software and sensors, which makes quality control both efficient and user-friendly.

Simple user interface for intuitive operation

Graphics, icons and texts are arranged in such a way that the functions are intuitive and logical based on their appearance. An overview list also allows users to immediately check the status of the monitors. The intuitive user interface makes it easy to calibrate and validate monitors.

Precision calibration

Regular calibration of monitors is key to ensuring consistently high image reproduction quality. Deviations in tone value rendering, which result even during normal use, are reliably eliminated, for example, in accordance with DICOM or CIE.

Precision calibration

Acceptance and consistency testing

The installation of diagnostic monitors is subject to acceptance testing. Regular consistency tests are also essential. The RadiCS software supports these operations by way of visual checks using test patterns in accordance with DIN and AAPM, as well as luminance, tone value and homogeneity measurements in accordance with DIN, AAPM, IEC and JIS. RadiCS assigns acceptance and consistency tests of body regions/methods from DIN 6868-157 to application classes to allow for unambiguous categorisation during the related testing.

Self-calibration and self-diagnosis

RadiCS can perform self-calibration as well as self-diagnosis on the basis of factory calibration data for each respective screen. Depending on the RadiForce monitor, RadiCS uses the integrated luminance sensoror built-in backlight sensor for calibration. Self-calibration is performed quickly without a separate measuring device. If unstable or altered brightness levels are detected, an error message is output by the self-diagnosis function indicating that the hue curve requires recalibration. Self-diagnosis can be configured so that it is performed automatically at regular scheduled intervals.

Flexible scheduling

The time for carrying out quality control tasks such as daily visual checks or semi-annual consistency tests can be customised according to the requirements at the respective workstation, for example, when the PC is switched on or immediately after a specific application has been launched.

Flexible scheduling

Work on a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

Virtual desktops are becoming increasingly popular in the medical field in an effort to improve work efficiency, reduce costs and save space. RadiNET Pro makes it possible to centrally manage client monitors from a virtual desktop infrastructure.

Optimised diagnostics workflow

To increase work efficiency, EIZO’s Work-and-Flow function offers various features in order to provide user-friendly workflows. This includes the Point-and-Focus functionality that makes it possible to quickly select and focus on relevant image areas using the mouse or keyboard. By adjusting the brightness and greyscale levels, surrounding areas are darkened and interesting image regions are highlighted.

Improved concentration

When interpreting images, the bright screen of a patient list on an external monitor can be distracting. With the Auto Brightness Switch function, the brightness of a connected FlexScan EV-Series monitor automatically dims when the cursor is moved out of the screen. This makes it easier to concentrate on diagnostic images and also saves on power consumption.

Save Power with Ease

With the Monitor Power Switch function, all monitors can be turned on or off just by touching one monitor. When leaving your desk, switching off all monitors is quick and easy.*

*This feature is limited to EIZO monitors connected via USB.

Documentation

Measurement results from calibration operations, monitor validation checks and self-tests are archived for each monitor individually and are available for future reference.

Asset management

Device and model names, the names of the medical institution or department, the description of the installation location as well as other information on each monitor, computer and graphics board can be documented and archived.

Extended service life thanks to automatic shutdown function

The automatic Backlight Saver shutdown function for the backlight on EIZO RadiForce screens can be configured using RadiCS. This extends the service life of the monitors. Similar to a screen saver, they turn off the backlight when the monitor is not in use.

Universal compatibility

Numerous functions offered by the EIZO RadiCS software are also compatible with non-RadiForce monitors. This means that monitors from other manufacturers can also be managed simply and easily.
