DICal Service

You can calibrate GX24, GX2MP Plus, GX2MP, and select desktop displays to conform with

the DICOM curve or with another calibration response function. With the optional LCD

photometer, you can also perform custom calibrations and conformance tests.

Configuring the service for display calibration

First, check the brightness and contrast of your display. You must use the brightness and

contrast settings for your particular display. Look up the values in the Dome CXtra User’s

Guide and check your display documentation for how to change the settings, if necessary.)

Then, select DICal Panel Configuration on the CXtra Services menu. If your panel comes up

preselected, then the DICal service is already configured. Otherwise, click Edit Type on

the dialog and choose your panel.

After configuration, only privileged users can run the Calibration Wizard for custom DICOM

calibration. (Default DICOM calibration is active when no custom calibrations are run.) Use

the Reporting service to review calibration events. Switch between Original calibration (for

running Windows applications) and DICOM calibration (for viewing grayscale images) via

the CXtra Services menu.

Use the DICal Panel Configuration dialog

to verify the model of desktop display,

edit the model type, select a different

calibration response function, or

characterize an unknown display.
