At RSNA 2022, the annual conference of the Radiological Society of North America, LG Business Solutions USA provided a glimpse into three innovative designs for radiology currently in development.
LG displayed a 32-inch diagnostic monitor prototype that will include an 8-megapixel IPS display with 1,000 nits of brightness and a 2,000:1 contrast ratio. Features in development include an integrated front sensor and luminance sensor, as well as an anti-glare screen, three-way tilt/height/swivel adjustments, built-in calibration software, and an exclusive “Screen Manager” that enables on-board control and 17 languages for on-screen menus and tools.
LG also displayed a prototype of what it expects to be its largest surgical monitor ever, a 55-inch 4K IPS display with 650 nits of brightness. The monitor will feature multiple inputs and outputs to accommodate flexible installation scenarios, anti-reflection and anti-fingerprint coatings, a 178-degree viewing angle, and will seek IP45 certification (front) and IP32 certification (rear), establishing its level of protection against liquid and solid foreign objects.
LG’s third prototype on display was a 14-inch, portable, battery-powered Digital X-Ray Detector that can connect wirelessly to a PC. Features in development include built-in auto-exposure control that provides readings of total radiation received and auto-shutoff when certain thresholds are reached.
All three prototypes being displayed are Investigational Use Only. None are currently available for sale in the United States.
