Photometry The science of the response of the
human eye to light
The basic unit of photometry is the lumen (lm).

Illuminance describes the intensity of light
incident on a surface Luminance intensity is a
property of the source of light, such as a viewbox or a digital
display device

Active matrix liquid crystal displays are superior to cathode ray tube displays. LCD design –
gives out more light,
reduces ambient light
Better contrast resolution
Less noise Less maintenance

Crystals can be aligned by an external electric field

Plasma Display The plasma displays are made up
of many small fluorescent lights that are illuminated to form the color of the image.

Pixel A pixel is an
individual controllable set of dot triads. A dot triad is a grouping of one red dot, one green dot, and one blue dot. The number of pixels on a display is known as its resolution.

Resolution The more pixels
in an image, the higher the resolution of the image and the more information that can be displayed.

Pixels are arranged in a matrix

Dot pitch Dot pitch is the measurement of
how close the dots are located to one another within a pixel

Spatial Resolution improves with the use of higher-
megapixel digital display devices
A 1-megapixel display will have a 1000×1000-pixel arrangement. A high-resolution monitor will have a 5-megapixel display, or a 2000×2500-pixel arrangement

Refresh rate The refresh rate is the measure
of how fast the monitor rewrites the screen or the number of times that the image is redrawn on the display each second. The refresh rate helps to control the flicker seen by the user; the higher the refresh rate, the less flicker.

Viewable area The viewable area is measured
diagonally from one corner of the display to the opposite corner.

Cosine Law Is important when one is
describing the luminous intensity of a digital display device. When a monitor is viewed straight on, the luminous intensity is maximum. When a monitor is viewed from an angle, the contrast and the luminous intensity are reduced.

When a digital display device is viewed from the side, illumination and image contrast are reduced.

LCD Disadvantage The principal disadvantage of an
AMLCD is the angular dependence of viewing
Ergonomic design of digital workstations is critical

PACS Common Functions Navigation functions are used to
move through images, studies, and patients.
The worklist is used to navigate through patients. Most worklists are customizable for the user. One doctor or technologist may want to see only CT studies or all neurologic studies done that day regardless of the modality.
Most modern PACS software conforms to the Windows look and feel.
