Medical display
A medical display is a monitor built to show diagnostic images, surgical video or clinical data with stable brightness and calibrated greyscale. It is used for radiology reading, in operating theatres with endoscopy systems, and at clinical review stations.
Common types
- Diagnostic greyscale display: high resolution for reading radiographs and mammograms.
- Diagnostic colour display: for CT, MRI, ultrasound and nuclear medicine reading.
- Clinical review display: for viewing images outside the reading room.
- Surgical display: for endoscopy and theatre video, often with sealed front panels.

Documents to ask for
Buyers ask for CE marking under the EU MDR or US FDA clearance where the display is used for diagnosis, ISO 13485 for the maker and IEC 60601-1 test reports for displays used near the patient. Proof of DICOM Part 14 greyscale calibration is commonly requested.
Certificates and registrations belong to the product and its manufacturer. We check them with you against the rules of your market before any order.
Can an ordinary office monitor be used for diagnostic reading?
Office monitors lack stable calibrated greyscale and brightness monitoring, so radiology guidelines and some regulators expect calibrated medical displays for primary diagnosis. Office monitors are often accepted for clinical review only.
