Medical Monitor Testing & Calibration

Medical monitor testing for mammography review workstations, either on-site or at-home based workstations.

Radiologist review workstations are the cornerstone of accurate image interpretation, whether in on-site facilities or at-home setups. To ensure diagnostic reliability and patient safety, these workstations must comply with the Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) and Cancer Care Ontario (CCO) mammography standards. This rigorous standardization is vital, emphasizing the importance of regular monitor calibration and testing.

Every facility bears the responsibility of ensuring that radiologists interpreting for them, regardless of location, utilize monitors that are correctly calibrated and tested annually. This proactive approach safeguards diagnostic accuracy and maintains compliance with industry standards.

The platform radiologists use to review images is as critical as the imaging equipment used for acquisition. Even the most advanced imaging systems can be undermined by improperly calibrated monitors, leading to compromised image interpretation. To avoid this, your physicist will test the monitors independently of the software using an external light meter. This is crucial to gauge the actual luminance and calibration of the monitors.

Properly tested and calibrated monitors not only enhance diagnostic confidence but also:

• Ensure Compliance: Meet the CAR and CCO standards to remain audit-ready and uphold regulatory obligations.
• Improve Patient Outcomes: Provide radiologists with accurate, high-quality images to make precise diagnoses.
• Extend Monitor Lifespan: Regular testing and calibration can optimize the performance and longevity of your equipment.
