LG Leverages Display Expertise, Enters Medical Imaging Market
LG Electronics USA Business Solutions is introducing clinical and surgical monitors designed to empower health care professionals to make accurate and informed life-saving decisions. LG’s entry into the growing global medical imaging devices market leverages the company’s years of experience in advanced flat-panel display technology, according to Kimun Paik, senior vice president, LG Electronics USA Business Solutions.
“LG is diving head-first into the U.S. medical imaging device market with advanced display technologies designed to improve the accuracy, quality and efficiency of diagnostic procedures,” said Paik. “To serve this highly competitive market, we plan to build on LG’s position both as a worldwide leader in premium display technologies and as the largest provider of hospital patient room TVs in the U.S.”
LG 8MP Clinical Review Monitor
The LG 8MP Clinical Review Monitor is a 27-inch IPS monitor driving 3840 x 2160 pixels specifically designed to increase hospital staff efficiency by enabling streamlined work flows and multitasking. In addition to enhanced brightness levels, this monitor provides healthcare professionals with wide viewing angles, minimal color shift and accurate images.
The monitor is Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) compliant, which means that grayscale tones are corrected to maintain image accuracy. It is equipped with backlight stabilization technology to guarantee stable luminance levels. Dynamic Sync Mode reduces input lag, while Flicker Safe and Reader Mode settings help reduce eye strain experienced by doctors and nurses working long shifts.
LG 8MP Surgical Monitor
The 27-inch LG 8MP Surgical Monitor was developed for a wide range of uses in the operating theater. In particular, surgeons who favor minimally invasive surgical techniques will benefit greatly as they make precise observations while viewing LG’s wide and highly accurate monitor. With brightness levels of up to 800 nits, LG’s surgical monitor is ideally suited for bright operating rooms. This monitor covers over 99 percent of the sRGB color space with additional space dedicated to the deep red spectrum, enabling doctors to more easily distinguish different types of tissue and blood vessels.
LG Digitalized X-Ray Detector for Radiography
LG DXD (digitalized X-ray detector) produces high quality radiography images within seconds using its 16-bit image processing capabilities and a pixel pitch range as small as 127 micrometers, producing super-high-resolution images for radiographers and radiologists to quickly and accurately identify health issues. A magnesium and carbon fiber body make the LG DXD well-suited to serve patients in a range of medical settings and the IP41 rating for water and dust resistance helps assure optimal performance even when this DXD comes in contact with powders or liquids. The LG DXD will be available in 2017.
