Hospital-wide medical display solutions at work!

Hospital-wide digitalisation is seeing all departments embrace the technology which will improve efficiency, reduce costs and increase diagnostic confidence. Delivering superior image quality and state of the art display solutions across its entire estate, UZ Brussel trusts NEC Display Solutions to fulfil its visual display requirements.

Located in the heart of Europe, the Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel combines the best of patient treatment and care in a wide variety of medical specialties, in combination with educating the next generation of medical specialists and conducting scientific research. With its 700 beds, each year UZ Brussel admits more than 25,000 patients and treats 400,000 outpatients. The hospital’s clinical excellence, scientific commitment and human-centric tuition ensure the highest degree of competence in many fields. As a top-rated hospital, UZ Brussels has gained recognition at national and international level.

The Challenge

UZ Brussel exemplifies the heavy demands a modern hospital has to fulfill. All hospital departments require visual interfaces to carry out different applications and each and every one demands the highest reliability. From hospital information and signage installations welcoming the patients in the entrance area and guiding them securely through the building; to specific applications needing diagnostic displays for Radiology, Nuclear Medicine, Surgery and others. From Administration and Back Office applications to Conferencing and Training room equipment; only a hardware-agnostic brand like NEC can provide the right performance display solution for each and every application.

“The Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel has a satisfactory partnership with NEC Display Solutions and we appreciate their cross departmental medical display solutions and service, starting in the radiology department but wide spread throughout the hospital, states Mr. Filip Verhelle, responsible for Radiology Informatics at UZ Brussel.


The NEC Solution

MD Series Diagnostic Displays

UniZiekenhuisDetail3Radiology
The NEC MD211G5 responds to the demand for higher performance in digital mammography, by offering a new generation of 5MP IPS LCD technology with long-lifetime LED backlight, resulting in high luminance and contrast ratio for unequaled image quality. When details are of vital importance, the high contrast ratio of 1200:1 brings out the subtle differences in adjacent shades of gray and provides crisper images. 1024 (10-Bit) simultaneous shades of gray, out of a Look-Up Table of 12.277 (13.5-Bit), ensures best-in-class image quality for women’s health. Taking into account the advanced feature set, including front sensor, Digital Uniformity Control (DUC) function and a new special Anti-Reflection (AR) coating technology, the NEC MD211G5 display brings unrivaled image precision and the highest degree of diagnostic confidence. The NEC MD211G5 display passed the type test of the Flemish agency Zorg en Gezondheid (www.zorg-en-gezondheid.be) for equipment to be used in breast cancer screening.

With size and resolution being the game changers in medical imaging displays, the Nuclear Medicine department benefits greatly from the 31.5” NEC MD322C8 diagnostic monitors with 8MP (Ultra HD) resolution. The 10-Bit wide colour gamut brings crisp color reproduction for Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) during Positron Emission Tomography (PET) examinations. The LED backlight system of the NEC MD series is mercury free and results in less energy consumption. The unique built-in OPS Option Slot allows easy upgrade capability for supporting HD-SDI and 3G-SDI signal sources. The GammaCompMD QA client and network administration software enables easy DICOM calibration, technical display maintenance and quality assurance routines (according to the international standards AAPM Task Group 18, ACR, IEC 62563-1:2009 and DIN 6868157), ensuring accurate performance over the entire lifetime of the display.
