The DICOM Theater® Pro is Barco's top-of-the-line medical projection system, combining professional image performance with extensive functionality. DICOM Theater® Pro bundles a powerful MGP 15 projector, a dedicated BarcoMed® display controller, MediCal® Pro QA software and one or more flat panel displays into a flexible, high-grade projection solution. The system is available in single- and dual-head configurations.
SOFTCOPY QA SOLUTIONS
Solutions for image consistency and QA management
Plug-Ins
AAPM TG18- Effortless compliance with AAPM TG18 standard
To ensure diagnostic confidence on softcopy medical viewing systems, the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM), Task Group 18 has laid down quality standards to practicing medical physicists, engineers, researchers and radiologists.
These standards outline acceptance testing, which checks whether the display solution meets the requirements, as well as quality control, which specifies periodic check-ups to see if the system maintains its constancy.
To assist administrators in their efforts to make display systems comply with the AAPM TG18 standard, Barco has developed a plug-in to be incorporated into its MediCal QA software. In this way, these additional tasks can be performed user-friendly and almost intervention-free, thereby drastically reducing system administrator's workload and the total life cycle cost of softcopy display systems.
DIN 6868-57 - Effortless compliance with DIN 6868-57 standard
The DIN standard describes the performance of acceptance and constancy tests to determine the quality of image display devices.
DIN describes the parameters and tools to be used for acceptance testing. Both the manufacturer and user/expert should perform such an acceptance test upon installation or after modifications that could influence image quality and they should determine the reference values for the constancy tests making use of the described test equipment. Compliance to this standard is mandatory for German medical facilities.

JIS Z 4752-2-5 - Effortless compliance with JIS Z 4752-2-5 standard
The JIS Z 4752-2-5 standard describes the performance of constancy tests to determine the quality of image display devices. The JIS standard applies to Japanese medical facilities and is similar to the DIN 6868-57 standard

MediCal
MediCal Administrator- Hospital-wide, centralized image quality management
MediCal Administrator is Barco's solution for hospital-wide softcopy image quality management.
With MediCal Administrator, system administrators and service technicians have a powerful tool to schedule the maintenance of the display base and reduce their workload.
Version 2.05 of MediCal Administrator includes new features, such as PDA support, improved reporting functionality and notification through industry-standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
MediCal LE - Enhanced diagnostic quality for entry-level display systems
MediCal LE is Barco's manufacturer independent QA software package for color and grayscale displays in home offices or hospitals.
The MediCal LE package bundles a user-friendly interface, an optical sensor for calibration and measurement and a set of test patterns into an easy yet efficient QA solution.
MediCal Pro - Image conformance and consistency on a single display system
For advanced QA functionality, operators can rely on Barco's MediCal Pro software for image conformance and consistency.
The manufacturer-independent MEDICAL Pro software, which works with most commercially available sensors and Barco's built-in I-GUARD®, maintains conformance and consistency of a single display system (color or grayscale; CRT or LCD).
NioWatch
NioWatch- User-friendly image optimization tool for Nio® display systems
NioWatch is Barco's user-friendly software tool for use with Barco's Nio® display systems.
With NIOWATCH, users can either work with NIO®'s pre-defined DICOM-out-of-the-box settings or manually optimize their display system in accordance with DICOM part 14 in a few easy steps. Thanks to NIOWATCH, NIO® displays remain perceptually linearized, ensuring an accurate image representation at all times. The NIOWATCH tool comes as an easy-to-use systray application with a user-friendly interface.
