In many cases displays used in the medical industries for diagnosis or reviewing purposes are not up to the quality standards. As a health-care professional, it is your responsibility to ensure that your patients receive the highest level of care possible. But regardless of the skill levels of the practitioners in your organization, those high standards can be impacted by poorly-calibrated medical imaging display devices.
More than an isolated occurrence, improperly-calibrated medical displays are actually a common industry problem that affects not only the quality of the treatment your organization provides, it can also result in life-threatening situations that could have been avoided.
The diagnostic imaging process consists of these three key areas:
1. Image Acquisition
Images are acquired through the system.
2. Image Processing
The image is optimally presented for interpretation by the diagnostician.
3. Display Quality
Determines how accurately the resulting images are interpreted.
If any of these areas fail to meet standards, it is very likely that the quality of the resulting medical treatment will be impacted.
That’s why you need KleoQC
KleoQC, from QUBYX, performs the "Standard Acceptance Test" so the user can be assured that the image display quality is up to standards and that those standards are maintained throughout the useful life of the device.
KleoQC supports DIN6868-57, AAPM TG18 and IEC standards.
DIN 6868-57: Deutsches Institute fur Normung-German Standard Institute.
This standard describes the performance of acceptance and conformance tests used to determine the quality of the image display devices. DIN describes the parameters and tools to be used for acceptance and conformance testing.
Both the manufacturer and user/expert should perform such an acceptance test upon installation or after modifications that could influence image quality and should determine the reference values. Based on the performance of the display, the test has to be performed regularly as per the schedule described in the standard.
KleoQC provides this standard with a wizard-based user interface making it quick and easy to run the tests described in DIN6868-57 standards
AAPM TG18: American Association of Physicists in Medicine Task Group 18.
This standard provides guidelines to practicing medical physicists, engineers, researchers and radiologists for the performance evaluation of electronic display devices intended for medical use.
It outlines both acceptance testing and quality control. Acceptance testing is required before the first use of a diagnostic imaging device, and each time after it has been repaired or replaced. Quality control specifies periodic, recurring check-ups during the use of medical devices.
KleoQC provides this standard with a wizard based user interface making it quick and easy to run the tests described in AAPM TG18: standards.
IEC 61223-2-5-International Electrotechnical Commission.
"Evaluation and Routine Testing in Medical Imaging Departments - Part 2-5" established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
The IEC is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national Electrotechnical committees (IEC National committees). This standard describes the acceptance and constancy test for image display devices used in the medical electrical equipments and systems for diagnostic imaging.
KleoQC provides this standard with a wizard based user interface making it quick and easy to run the test described in IEC standard.
