LG Electronics (LG) has announced that it is accelerating its B2B medical device business, expanding its lineup of diagnostic monitors with the new 21HQ613D-B, which was recently cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for sale in the U.S.
Intended for digital mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis, the 21HQ613D-B is a 21.3-inch 5-megapixel (MP) IPS diagnostic monitor designed to deliver high-definition radiological images and maintains consistent image quality through its internal front calibration sensor and calibration software.
The LG IPS display provides a resolution of 2,048 x 2,560, a luminance of 1100cd/m² and a contrast ratio of 1800:1. LG says it is suitable for reviewing various types of medical images, including breast MRIs, CT scans and ultrasound, the diagnostic monitor features an internal front sensor that removes the need for an external calibration device.
The 21HQ613D-B also incorporates features to assist users in the close examination of medical images, such as Focus View Mode. Controllable with either a mouse or keyboard, Focus View Mode lets users focus in on a specific part of an image, dimming the rest of the screen in order to highlight the selected area. Additionally, Multi-Resolution Mode (5, 3 and 2MP) makes it possible to quickly adjust screen resolution to suit the type of image being viewed.
LG’s expanded lineup of diagnostic monitors covers the major display needs of large hospitals according to the company. Along with the new 5MP model, the company provides 2MP and 3MP monitors – primarily used for reading radiological images – and 8MP and 12MP products equipped with PBP (Picture-by-picture) mode, which allows simultaneous review of multiple diagnostic images.
"LG's new 5MP diagnostic monitor is tailored for reviewing mammograms and breast tomosynthesis, providing a high-quality medical imaging display with both simple management and practical features for users,” said Stephen K. Hu, LG Business Solutions USA’s head of medical displays. “We’re dedicated to providing cutting-edge solutions for the medical sector with our display technologies, and the addition of the latest 5MP monitor underscores this commitment to innovation.”
