New widescreen monitor for operating room

Medical imaging specialist EIZO has launched a widescreen LCD colour monitor with a light-emitting diode backlight for operating rooms.

The new RadiForce LX600W (pictured) is designed for use in interventional radiology, cardiology and surgery suites.

With a 60-inch screen and unlimited, flexible image display, the new monitor is ideal for current theatres where the integration of different imaging systems and surgical disciplines requires versatile solutions.

Notable features of the RadiForce LX600W include:

• Images up to 8 megapixels, with a contrast ratio of 4000:1 and uniform brightness across the entire screen.
• An LED backlight that offers optimum working conditions.
• Real-time image display to provide a safe and stable working environment for the surgeon.
• An improved cooling concept, helping to minimise air turbulence from fans.

A model with a protective glass screen, which simplifies cleaning and disinfection, is available.

Rob Musson, Business Director, Avnet Technology Solutions – EIZO Division, commented: “EIZO’s new RadiForce LX600W is the perfect choice of large display in any modern hospital. Its large 60-inch widescreen viewing area offers great flexibility in displaying different modality images across the one same screen without distracting frames between individual pictures.

“The monitor’s new LED backlight and much-improved cooling concept make it ideal for long-term stable and reliable use in the operating room.”

Production of the RadiForce LX600W is planned for the first quarter 2012. The product will be showcased for the first time at Medica 2011.

Based in Japan, with distributors in more than 50 countries, EIZO Nanao Corporation is a leading global manufacturer of high-end visual display products with LCD monitor systems.
