A
flexible, scalable, high-resolution display system was created to support the
next generation of radiology reading rooms or interventional radiology
suites. The project aimed to create an
environment for radiologists that will simultaneously facilitate image
interpretation, analysis, and understanding while lowering visual and cognitive
stress. Displays currently in use
present radiologists with technical challenges to exploring complex datasets
that we seek to address. These include
resolution and brightness, display and ambient lighting differences, and
degrees of complexity in addition to side-by-side comparison of time-variant
and 2D/3D images.
We address these issues through a scalable projector-based system that uses our custom-designed geometrical and photometrical calibration process to create a seamless, bright, high-resolution display environment that can reduce the visual fatigue commonly experienced by radiologists.
