Abstract
A methodology and associated software modules for calibration, characterization, and profiling of color LCDs for color-critical applications in medical imaging is described. Supporting analyses reveal very high color-reproduction accuracy as determined by CIE DE2000 color differences for 210 test colors uniformly distributed in CIE Lab color space. The impact of the LCD tone-reproduction curve on color-reproduction accuracy is compared for two tone-reproduction curves of special interest in medical imaging: the DICOM gray-scale standard display function and the CIE L* standard lightness function. The initial results from a psychophysical investigation of the diagnostic performance of trained pathologists viewing "virtual" breast biopsy slides are reported and the diagnostic performance achieved with calibrated, color-managed LCDs with uncalibrated LCDs without the benefits of color management is compared.
