Stanford Hospital adds Barco displays

Barco has been selected by Stanford Hospital & Clinics, part of Stanford University Medical Center in California, to supply 2-megapixel, MDRC-2120 clinical review displays.

Stanford said its new outpatient facility has a strong focus on orthopedic surgery, sports medicine and imaging. The disciplines demand a multi-purpose display solution that can present color 3D reconstructions as well as high-fidelity grayscale images.

The Barco MDRC-2120 is a clinical review display featuring a 20-inch screen, 1600x1200 native resolution, backlight stabilization, rotating mount and a multi-lingual on-screen display. Equipped with professional LCD-technology and a built-in DICOM Look-Up Table, the MDRC presents medical images with more accurate grayscales, better contrast and a wider viewing angle than conventional computer monitors, according to Kortrijk, Belgium-based Barco.
