10-Bit and 12-Bit Grayscale Technology Advances in sensor technology and image acquisition techniques in the field of radiology are producing high bit-depth grayscale images in the range of 12 to 16-bit per pixel. At the same time, the adoption of displays with native support for 10 and 12-bit grayscale is growing. These affordable displays are DICOM compliant to preserve image quality and consistency. Furthermore, tiling together multiple displays enables side-by-side digital study comparisons to be driven by a single system. Standard graphics workstations however are limited to 8-bit grayscale, which provides only 256 possible shades of gray for each pixel, sometimes obscuring subtle contrasts in high density images. Radiologists often use windowleveling techniques to identify the region of interest which can quickly become a cumbersome and timeconsuming user interaction process. NVIDIA’s 10-bit and 12-bit grayscale technology allows these high quality displays to be driven by standard NVIDIA Quadro graphics boards preserving the full grayscale range. By using “pixel packing” the 10-bit or 12-bit grayscale data is transmitted from the Quadro graphics board to a high grayscale density display using a standard DVI cable. Instead of the standard three 8-bit color components per pixel, the pixel packing allows two 10- or 12-bit pixels to be transmitted, providing higher spatial resolution and grayscale pixel depth compared to an 8-bit system. Since specialty hardware is not required, NVIDIA’s 10-bit grayscale technology is readily available for use with other radiology functions and easy to support across a wide range of grayscale panels from various manufacturers. In a preliminary study involving 10 radiologists using Dome E5 10-bit vs. E5 8-bit displays in conjunction with the Three Palms 10-bit, OpenGL accelerated WorkstationOne mammography application, radiologists’ performance was statistically significant on the 10-bit enabled display systems, some experiencing triple read time speedups.

Multi-Display Configuration Diagnostic imaging commonly requires multiple displays for side by side modality comparisons. Multidisplay configurations are becoming more practical with systems capable of supporting multiple graphic boards that in turn drive multiple displays. A single Quadro board can drive a maximum of 2 displays. Depending on the available PCIe slots within a system, multiple cards can be used to drive several displays. These multiple displays can be a mix of regular color LCD panels and specialty grayscale monitors. Multi-GPU Compatibility Use multiple Quadro 2000D (two) or one Quadro 2000D and one NVS 300 or NVS295
