Consistent Presentation of Images

The Radiology Consistent Presentation of Image (CPI) Integration Profile specifies a number of transactions that maintain 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.

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)
• Image management and archiving systems (PACS)
• Hardcopy image producing systems on various media such as film or paper
• Acquisition modalities
