EIZO showcases new 3 MP Color LCD monitor

Eizo Nanao Technologies Inc. recently announced the release of the RadiForce R31, a 3 megapixel LCD monitor for CT, MRI, PET and 3D rendering. The monitor was showcased this week at the American Healthcare Radiology Administrators (AHRA) annual meeting in San Antonio, Texas.

Each of the monitor's colors (RGB) is supported with a 10-bit color input compatibility, which displays up-to 1,064,330,000 colors simultaneously. EIZO has targeted the RadiForce R31 as an addition to a total medical imaging monitor system, ranging from 5mp to 1mp monochrome and color monitors.

The new R31 also comes with the company's image rotation technology, which allows for easy switching between landscape or portrait modes. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for special software, ensuring grayscale rendering without banding or color seepage. Additionally, the new monitor contains all the same features and capabilities as the RadiForce 2 megapixel color monitor R22, such as, DICOM part 14 calibration with EIZO's quality control software RadiCS, and network QC Management software RadiNET Pro.

With the R31, EIZO offers both MED Series and VREngine Series graphics boards. The new VREngine/SMD3D board, ready for release in August, comes with dual-link capability for R31. All boards contain twin DVI-I outputs, and support both portrait and landscape viewing without the need for additional software.

The new monitors will begin shipping in September.
