Image quality

Precision, brightness, contrast and sharpness – we are constantly refining our monitor technology, use only high-end materials and carefully calibrate every single monitor during production. As a result of these efforts, you can always rely on excellent image reproduction.

Observe monochrome and colour images on a single monitor

The hybrid gamma PXL functionality automatically differentiates between monochrome and colour images, pixel by pixel. This creates a hybrid display on which each pixel is displayed with the ideal tone value. In turn, this achieves a greater degree of precision and reliability than for conventional planar detection methods.

The RX1270 faithfully displays complex monochrome images from mammography and tomosynthesis along with colour images from every imaginable modality. The result is a significant increase in efficiency since images produced using different imaging techniques can be viewed on a single monitor. The RX1270 is the perfect choice for diagnostic workstations in applications such as mammograms and ultra-high resolution diagnostic CT scans where a large screen size and very high spatial resolution are required.

Blur reduction

LCD panels with a high brightness level tend to have more blurry image rendering thanks to over-framing than would be possible in comparison with an acquired exposure. Therefore, EIZO offers blur reduction anchored in monitor hardware. It retrieves details lost in the contours on the screen, meaning that the image is rendered as clearly as possible.

Sharp, High-resolution Images

The monitor has a pixel width of 0.1554 mm and thereby reproduces even, high-resolution, sharp, and high-depth images without any kind of granularity.

Stable display using AI

The colour and brightness of an LCD monitor can shift due to changes in ambient temperature and the temperature of the monitor itself. Medical Imaging RadiForce monitors are equipped with a temperature sensor for accurately measuring the temperature inside the monitor, as well as estimating the temperature of the surrounding environment. With this technology, the monitor adjusts in real-time so gradations, colour, brightness, and other characteristics continue to display accurately.

Furthermore, EIZO uses AI (artificial intelligence) in the estimation algorithm of the RX1270 so it can distinguish between changing temperature patterns to calculate an even more accurate correction.

Balanced image quality thanks to an integrated front sensor

The precise calibration of white point and tone value characteristic curve is provided by an integrated front sensor (IFS). This measures the brightness and grayscales and calibrates the monitor autonomously according to the DICOM standard. The sensor works automatically, without restricting the field of vision of the monitor. You can save the costs, time, and effort of maintenance and rely on a consistently balanced image quality.

Reliable brightness

EIZO is convinced of the quality of its products. The warranty for the monitors, therefore, also covers the brightness stability.

Uniform brightness over the entire screen

The monitor shines thanks to its uniform illumination. This is down to the Digital Uniformity Equalizer (DUE), which corrects imbalances automatically, pixel by pixel. Grey tones of radiological and other medical images are correctly rendered over the entire display. This is vital for diagnostics.

Without DUE

Constant brightness during operation

A sensor for the backlight permanently determines the luminance of the monitor. The benefit: The defined and calibrated values are rendered exactly just seconds after the monitor is turned on and remain constant during the entire period of use. The sensor is invisibly integrated in the monitor.

One Billion Hues, Thanks to the 13-bit Look-up-table

Precise colour reproduction is controlled via a 13-bit look-up table (LUT). A maximum of 10-bit resolution, or up to one billion hues, is available via DisplayPort. This ensures flawless colour reproduction of MRI, ultrasound, and pathology images. As such, the recording curve and microstructures required for diagnosis can be precisely detected.

Secure image quality thanks to AAPM/Euref/DIN compliance

The display properties, in particular brightness and contrast, are suited to the creation of image rendering systems compliant with DIN 6868-157. The DICOM® GSDF characteristic is already precisely configured in the factory. This means that greyscales are consistent, which is vital for diagnostics.

FDA clearance

The monitor holds the FDA-510(k)- clearance for breast tomosynthesis, mammography and general radiography.

Improved comfort and efficiency

The monitors in the RadiForce series have powerful functionalities and characteristics that provide medical staff with increased ease of use and efficiency when performing diagnostics.

Shape of Comfort

Compact 12 megapixel monitor packed full of features to improve comfort and work efficiency.

1. Eye relief with Comfort Light

The indirect lighting produced by the comfort light on the monitor’s back panel allows for glare-free work in low-light reading rooms. The light source does not shine directly in the radiologist’s eyes while the images on the monitor remain visible. In addition, minor adjustments made to the brightness of the monitor to align it to ambient light levels reduce eye strain.

2. Easily navigate your workspace

It is also equipped with a spotlight which allows you to see printed documents or your keyboard. The position can be easily adjusted in order to achieve the ideal lighting.

Perfectly designed for diagnostic use

Narrow black frontal bezels make this device ideal for use in dark environments. They make it easy to visually concentrate on the display. Meanwhile, a white bezel at the sides of the monitors creates a fresh, clean look.

Steamline Your Workflow

The RX1270 provides streamlined visibility compared with multi-monitor environments, leading to greater efficiency.

Compact and feature-packed

The monitor realizes the ultra-high resolution of 12 megapixels on a 30.9-inch screen. The new design is more compact compared to two conventional 5 megapixel monitors used side by side. This all while including a built-in comfort light and internal power supply that do not impose on the workspace.

Conventional diagnostic station vs. RX1270

Software and ease of use

Impressive features mean greater comfort. Our intelligent and intuitive controls enable you to manage your settings as well as operate the RadiForce diagnostics screens easily and conveniently at work during use.

Consistently secure image quality

The optional EIZO RadiCS software to secure image quality enables extensive maintenance and testing of monitors and includes calibration, acceptance and constancy testing, and the archiving of all areas. If you are working on multiple stations, the use of the RadiNET Pro is recommended. This can be used to centrally control the calibration of all monitors, including data history. This saves you a significant amount of time and ensures consistently high image quality across the entire setup. The basic version RadiCS LE is already included with the RadiForce GX, RX, and MX/MS models.

Evolve your image reading: the Work-and-Flow technology

Radiologists face an increasing amount of information on their screens, as modalities become increasingly digitalized. But imaging procedures now no longer need to be so complex, thanks to the unique Work-and-Flow technology from EIZO, featuring new functions developed specially to meet the requirements of radiologists. The RadiForce RX1270 and RadiCS-LE software solution enable you to benefit from the Work-and-Flow functions.

More information about the Work-and-Flow functions

Point-and-Focus: all eyes on the analysis

The Point-and-Focus function allows you to select and focus on relevant image areas quickly using your mouse or keyboard. By adjusting the brightness and greyscale, the interesting parts of an image are highlighted by dimming the surrounding areas.

Hide-and-Seek: fast retrieval of information

Hide-and-Seek adds the benefit of making it possible to access reports, patient files and other information on the display quickly and efficiently without needing an additional monitor. When you move your cursor towards or away from the edge of the screen, a PinP window hides and displays information.

Switch-and-Go: just one keyboard and mouse for two systems

Switch-and-Go makes it possible to work using just one keyboard and mouse at diagnostic imaging stations that make use of two computers. You can switch between the two systems simply by moving your cursor from one screen to the other. This ensures greater work efficiency and allows you to maintain a clear overview of your workstation.
