USEI gets FDA approval for mammography flat panel display

U.S. Electronics Inc. (USEI) this week received U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510k clearance for use of a flat-panel display for the diagnostic reading of mammography images in PACS (picture archiving and communications systems) applications.

USEI can now market its Totoku ME511L, 5 mega-pixel monochrome LCD (liquid crystal display) flat-panel for diagnostic mammography in the United States. The display has a 21.3-inch screen, offers viewing angles of 170 degrees in all directions, a 600:1 contrast ratio and dual-digital (DVI) video input. It can be used in both portrait and landscape modes.
