[Imaging monitors - requirements and pitfalls.] Radiologe. 2013 Sep 27; Authors: Simmler R Abstract When applying the standard DIN V 6868-57 rule "acceptance testing for image display devices" it always comes to misunderstandings in the practical implementation. In a brief summary the most important requirements are presented. With the pending replacement of DIN V 6868-57 by DIN 6868-157 "acceptance and constancy tests of image display systems in their environment" there will be fundamental changes. Future requirements are presented as examples. Besides the introduction of a classroom concept and new test images, the focus of the standard is aligned with the image display system. This change places new demands on the management concept of picture archiving and communication system (PACS) workstations. For testing the unit, consisting of a computer system, video card, operating system and image display equipment only one organizational unit should be responsible.
