The American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) composed a list of pre-defined reading rooms.
Each of these reading rooms are defined by following parameters:
• the maximum light allowed in this type of room
• the preset ambient light correction value for this reading room
These parameters are stored in your display and determine the preset ambient light correction value to
take into account to recalculate the DICOM display function when Ambient Light Compensation (ALC) is
enabled. Please refer to "Ambient Light Compensation (ALC)", page 29 to enable ALC.
The available reading rooms for your Mammo Tomosynthesis are:
CR/DR/ MAMMO Corresponds to light conditions in diagnostic
reading rooms for computed radiology, digital
radiology or mammography. This setting has the
lowest maximum ambient light.
CT/MR/NM Corresponds to light conditions in diagnostic
reading rooms for computed tomography, magnetic
resonance or nuclear medicine scans.
Staff Office Corresponds to light conditions in office rooms.
Clinical Viewing Room Corresponds to light conditions in diagnostic
reading rooms for clinical viewing.
Emergency Room
Corresponds to light conditions in emergency
rooms.
Operating Room Corresponds to light conditions in operating rooms.
This setting has the highest maximum ambient light.
To select a reading room:
1. Bring up the OSD main menu.
2. Navigate to the Configuration > Calibration > Ambient Light menu.
3. Enter the Reading Room submenu.
4. Select one of the available reading rooms and confirm.
5.18 Continu ous ALC
About Continuous A LC
Continuous ALC can only be selected when the DICOM display function is se lec ted.
Therefore, please refer to "Display functions", page 28 to correctly set the display func-
tion.
Enabling continuous ALC will continuously recalculate the DICOM display function taking the averaged
ambient light into account.
To select continuous ALC:
1. Bring up the OSD main menu.
2. Navigate to the Configuration > Calibration > Ambient Light menu.
3. Enter the Continuous ALC submenu.
4. Select Enabled/Disabled as desired and confirm.
