Consistent Presentation of Images
Consistent Presentation of Images (CPI) maintains consistent intensity and image transformations between different hardcopy and softcopy devices.
Summary
Consistent Presentation of Images maintains the consistency of presentation for grayscale images and their presentation state information (including user an notations, shutters, flip/rotate, display area, and zoom). It also defines a standard contrast curve, the Grayscale Standard Display Function, against which different types of display and hardcopy output devices can be calibrated. Thus it supports hardcopy, softcopy and mixed environments.
Benefits
<List the key benefits the profile provides (e.g. error reduction, increased throughput) and how they come about (e.g. SWF reduces patient errors due to mistyped demographics at the modality by transfering demographics electronically from the Order Filler). Consider using a bullet list for readability>
Details
<A few paragraphs, if appropriate, providing more details (mostly in user-speak, not tech-speak) on what the profile does and how it works.>
<If the user might be familiar with the mechanisms used by the profile, you can mention them here. E.g. Evidence Documents is based on DICOM Structured Report (SR) Templates.>
<If the user might have an appreciation for the problems addressed in the profile, you can mention them here, but keep it short. E.g. Mapping HL7 Order fields to DICOM Modality Worklist attributes can be inconsistent in the marketplace, so Scheduled Workflow provides vendors with more detailed instructions.>
Systems Affected
The systems included in this profile are hospital-wide and radiology-department image rendering systems such as:
- Review or diagnostic image softcopy display stations (stand-alone or integrated with a HIS, RIS or PACS)
