Double Black Imaging gets FDA approval

Double Black Imaging, the North American distributor and service center for WIDE Corp. has received FDA 510(k) approval for WIDE's 5MP display system, meaning that the system has been officially cleared for use in digital mammography applications by the FDA.    

The IF2105M is a 21.3-inch diagonal 5 megapixel LCD driven by a high-speed graphic controller.  The IF2105 "M" series display system features an electronic front sensor that emerges from the bezel then retracts when DICOM grayscale calibration is complete, eliminating any permanent protrusion into the active area of the LCD.
