FILMLESS PERFECTION IN 1, 2, 3 AND 5 MEGAPIXELBuilding upon its vast expertise in providing high-resolution display solutions for medical imaging, Barco has developed its Coronis® family of digital grayscale display systems. The compact, space-saving Coronis® display systems offer unprecedented diagnostic confidence and lowest cost of ownership in 1, 2, 3 and 5 MegaPixel resolutions. Coronis® combines one or more grayscale flat panel displays with a high-speed, 10-bit display controller (1024 shades of gray), MediCal® softcopy QA management software, display driver and digital cabling. Coronis® benefits: CONTINUOUS IMAGE QUALITY, FIDELITY AND CONSISTENCY Integrated I-Guard® for continuous DICOM compliance I-Guard® is Barco's eye of filmless perfection. The compact I-Guard® sensor in the corner guards and adjusts the luminance output of the actual diagnostic viewing area at the front of the Coronis® display, thereby ensuring consistent image quality and continuous DICOM consistency over time and across displays. Barco's patent pending I-Guard® sensor sees what you see, while it only requires a few square millimeters in the corner of the screen to do its job, unnoticed, without disturbing your work. Whether overnight, when the screen is not used, or |
| during a busy day, while the screen is in use, I-Guard® takes readings from a small, representative patch in the corner
and adjusts your screen settings when necessary. The correlation between the luminance measured by the I-Guard® and the
luminance in the center of the display is stored in the device, ensuring reliable, representative results. Automated intervention-free QA Combined with the I-Guard® sensor, Barco's MediCal® Pro softcopy QA software provides fully automated image Quality Assurance without the need for human invervention. MediCal® Pro tracks, maintains and logs display viewing performance, automates QA tasks, initiates display system calibration and sets up the most precise DICOM Look-Up-Table (LUT) calibration using 1024 shades of gray. With the MediCal® Pro software included, Coronis® display systems are ready for integration into the hospital's softcopy QA management system, using Barco's MediCal® Administrator software. Coronis® 1MP - Coronis® 2MP Coronis® 1MP is an 18.1" grayscale flat panel display with a resolution of 1280 x 1024. Coronis® 1MP complies with the DICOM/CIE viewing standards: it features correct grayscale tracking over the total luminance range as specified in the ACR/NEMA and DIN standards. Coronis® 1MPand 2MP feature both digital and analog inputs. For use in legacy applications with analog signals, the flat panel displays are also available as stand-alone units. Their accurate signal conversion and high brightness make them the perfect solution to upgrade existing CRT-based systems with state-of-the-art technology. To enhance response speed inportrait viewing, Coronis® 1MP and 2MP can be equipped with Barco's Portrait Accelerator, which eliminates software-related application slowdowns in portrait viewing. Coronis® 2MP (1600 x 1200 resolution) offers softcopy performance without compromise. The 20.1" systems's short response time and high contrast ration (1000:1) make it ideally suited to display moving images. Coronis® 3MP |  |
 | Coronis® 3MP was the first display system to combine diagnostic and flat panel display quality. Equipped with the
I-Guard sensor for image stability and intervention-free calibration, true 10-bit resolution for 1024 simultaneous
shades of gray and an ergonomic housing. Coronis® 3MP has set new standards for medical imaging. Coronis® 3MP features a 20.8" grayscale flat panel with a resolution of 1536 x 2048 and a protective glass cover for perfect image representation. With its contrast ratio of 600:1 and high luminance, Coronis® 3MP can be used both in dark reading rooms as well as in ambient light environments. Coronis® 3MP is fit with a solid tilt and swivel base, allowing users to adjust the panel's position to their preferred viewing angle or easily switch between landscape and portrait mode. The BarcoMed® 3MP2FHH digital display controller, designed for use with the Coronis® LCD panel, features Barco's proprietary 10-bit driving scheme, generating 1024 simultaneous shades of gray. The compact. low power display controller integrates AURA technology for ultra-fast image loading. Coronis® 5MP Barco's Coronis® 5MP display station has been engineered for very demanding medical imaging applications. The high-grade 5MP system offers unsurpassed film-like images with ultra-high resolution (2048 x 2560) and MTF, high luminance and high contrast ratio. Furthermore, the 21.3" LCD provides unprecedented image quality without pixelization, a wide viewing angle and perfect geometry. Users can select between ClearBase and BlueBase backlights to diagnose in their preferred viewing mode. Barco's state-of-the-art 5MP display system ensures low lifecycle cost, user-friendliness and increased productivity (high resolution reduces need for panning and roaming). Coronis® 5MP is FDA-approved and can be used in portrait and landscape modes thanks to its user-friendly tilt and swivel base. In addition, the Coronis® flat display is equipped with Barco's Portrait Accelerator for optimem performance in portrait mode. |
| Coronis® 5MP is bundled with the dedicated BarcoMed® 5MP2F display controller, featuring Barco's AURA technology for
ultra-fast image loading and 8 to 10-bit Look-Up-Tables for 10-bit precision rendering. PIN: centralized QA management at your fingertips Ambient intelligence for worry-free filmless perfection Coronis® display systems are fully compatible with Barco's revolutionary PIN (Product INtelligence) concept. which ensures worry-free diagnostic reading and image distribution by means of "intelligent" technology. Barco's PIN-compatible PACS products form a distributed network of web-enabled, intelligent devices. The integrated I-Guard® sensor constantly monitors image quality and the collected data is transparently processed and logged with Barco's MediCal® software. The surrounding network of invisible, intelligent devices keeps administrators informed about the display system's consistent quality. If the imaging chain fails, administrators can intervene from any location via user-friendly web interfaces, without disturbing normal radiology activities. PIN in a nutshell: OPTIONAL DuraLight® Exceptionally long lifetime without compromise |  |
 | DuraLight® is Barco's revolutionary long lifetime backlight option for Coronis® 3MP display systems. Compared to
conventional Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps (CCFL), the average lifetime of Barco's new DuraLight® backlights is
prolonged by a factor of 3 to 5, without increasing power consumption or compromising visual performance of the LCD
display system. On average, DuraLight® backlights last for 100,000 hours at 500 cd/m˛, compared to 22,000 hours for
conventional CCFL lamps. Thanks to the exceptionally long lifetime of Barco's innovative DuraLight® backlight, lamp replacement during the economic life span of the medical display becomes superfluous, which substantially reduces the system's cost of ownership. Barco's DuraLight® technology offers uncompromised image quality and image uniformity at all viewing angles. Moreover, DuraLight® drastically reduces color shift during the LCD's lifetime, compared to conventional CCFL backlights. In addition, DuraLight®'s long lifetime does not have a negative effect on the system's power consumption. Barco's unique DuraLight® backlights come with a 5-year warranty. DuraLight® features and benefits: Available in BlueBase and ClearBase viewing modes Barco's Coronis® 5MP display system is available in BlueBase and ClearBase viewing modes, allowing radiologists to work in their preferred color temperature. Both color mode options provide filmless perfection for accurate softcopy imaging. |
