Easy evaluation of DICOM GSDF conformance and simultaneous display of 2048 shades of gray
High-performance model for X-ray images. With its capability to simultaniously display 2048 shades of gray, it provides DICOM GSDF compliant highly accurate images. It is also equipped with a hardware pivot function for fast drawing.
Features
Newly developed luminance stabilizing system λ-Sentinel II
Provides enhanced stability in luminance and interaction with performance monitoring software PM Medivisor to evaluate conformity to DICOM GSDF.
Luminance stabilizing system to provides continuous stable display for medical images
A change in luminance affects gamma characteristics and therefore has adverse effects on diagnostic imaging. TOTOKU'smedical image displays are equipped with a luminance stabilizing system that automatically compensates for luminance changes due to startup drift, temperature change, and aging.
Features
- With luminance fluctuation caused by the LCD module taken into account, highly accurate luminance control is achieved.
- Actual luminance measurements including intermediate luminance are taken on the screen surface.
- Build-in luminance sensor provided with i2 models enables even simpler calibration without attaching the calibration sensor.
Note: λ-Sentinel II module is built into the the ME/CCL Series i model displays. Other models are equipped with λ-Sentinel (TOTOKU's conventional system).
Simultaneous display of 11bit (2048 shades of gray)
Realizes smoother grayscale display required for medical image displays.
* A viewer software that supports TOTOKU's multi-shade display system is reguired for 11-bit simultaneous display.
Built-in LUT (Look-up Table) to reproduce beautiful grayscale and TOTOKU's technology for simultaneous display of multiple shades
General-purpose displays are capable of 256 shades of gray, but due to unevenness and grayscale discontinuity, they cannot reproduce and display the subtle shading difference required for medical image displays. TOTOKU's medical image displays display the most appropriate 256 shades (8bit) out of a maximum of 12241 shades of gray using the built-in LUT. This technology realizes much finer and smoother grayscale than possible with general-purpose displays.
Moreover, combining with a TOTOKU display customized conversion table with an integrated viewer, up to 2048 shades of gray can be provided to produce film-like images on the display.
DICOM GSDF compliant curves according to the number of simultaneously available gray shades

Calibration capability for DICOM Part 14 compliant grayscale presentation
Calibrates luminance and gamma to enable smooth grayscale display that is faithful to DICOM GSDF.
Calibration function to accurately adjust gamma, color temperature, and luminance
Medical image displays are commonly required to display grayscale according to the Grayscale Standard Display Function (GSDF) defined by DICOM Part 14. The calibration function creates the optimum conditions for a medical imaging display by adjusting luminance levels, color temperature, and grayscale characteristics to achieve DICOM GSDF compliant grayscale output.
Models supported: All ME/CCL Series models, except ME183L and CCL192 plus
Note: Calibration requires an optional calibration kit*
How it works
The calibration function corrects the driving level of the LUT (Look-up Table), a memory that specifies the LCD driving, and writes it in the LUT. In other words, calibration adjusts grayscale characteristics, color temperature (color displays only), and luminance.
The luminance for each driving level is corrected such that the resulting curve matches the DICOM GSDF achieving smooth grayscale output.
Graph is for explanatory purpose only.

Hardware based pivot function to enable high speed drawing in portrait orientation
The pivot function allows for a 90-degree rotation of the LCD panel into portrait orientation. Unlike other pivoting functions that are implemented using graphics cards and/or that require special software, TOTOKU's hardware pivot function is directly implemented in display hardware, and thus it is much faster with less noise.
Color/monochrome conversion function for multi-display setups with both color and monochrome displays
Pairing service to match display colors (Optional)
Due to the variation in colors among cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) used as backlights, slight differences in color tone between displays are unavoidable. Medical imaging often uses two displays side-by-side, and it is very important that they present
TOTOKU offers a display pairing service that match colors of two displays using a high-definition spectrophotometer before shipping.
Models supported: All monochrome medical image displays |
* Consult your dealer for more information about the pairing service.
OSD Information Display
Such information as the display model, total operating time, actual measurement of luminance, and calibration settings can be checked on screen.
LED indicator to inform of current status
A glance at the LED indicator tells you the display's current operating status in three distinct colors. When in normal mode (luminance is stabilized), the LED is not lighted to minimize negatively impacting the diagnostic interpretation.
Models supported
All i2 and i models |
Worldwide medical safety standards
This display is certified under various medical safety standards that are much more demanding than those for general-purpose IT equipment.
