Projecting an Image in the DICOM SIM Mode
In the DICOM simulation mode (hereinafter referred to as “DICOM SIM”), this projector can
project a monochrome medical image such as an X ray radiography, CT image, MRI image,
etc. in the tone similar to the DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine)
standard. Typically, to project the image according to the DICOM standard, it requires the
grayscale tone correction using a luminance meter according to the environment. In this
projector, there are 21 types of tone settings for various ambient lights. You can correct the
tone in a simplified manner by selecting an appropriate test chart.
It is suited to project an image in a medical lecture, academic conference, in-hospital con-
ference, etc.
■Switching the mode to the DICOM SIM Mode
Push the [IMAGE] button on the remote control until [DICOM SIM] is displayed or select
[DICOM SIM] from [Image mode] in the [Image adjustment] menu.
