Document Summary
Image monitors: more complex; monitor has brightness, but also has sr considerations (# of pixels, greyscale, bit depth, dynamic range) Monitors serve to provide the user with a visual display. The image information stored in a matrix array which is composed of spatially encoded numerical values. Values come from the measurements at the detector. Users can access the information stored in a computer"s memory system and make meaningful /useful inferences based on that information. Pull up image, sent to monitor, see black/white/gray, decide if diagnostic. Monitors need to be calibrated in such a way as to allow for the full and perceptible display of digitized information. To assist in this effort and test a monitor"s ability to meet its performance requirements, various test tools have been developed. Monitors can be the weakest link in the chain. Monitors are well suited for the needs.
