Display considerations for hospital-wide viewing of soft copy images.

Digital imaging is progressively replacing film for the acquisition and display of diagnostic images in modern health care. Specifications for the devices used for the soft copy display of images are not currently well defined, nor are the requirements for optimal set-up and quality assurance. This paper considers the current situation and presents potential hospital-wide solutions for the outstanding issues.
