2 Learning objectives The purpose of this educational exhibit is to: understand and experience why color calibration of medical displays is important understand what the effect is of color calibration on appearance of medical images learn practical guidelines to correctly handle color of medical displays Page 2 of 22

3 Background The last few years color has become more important in medical imaging. Many imaging modalities generate color images and in many cases color information is critical for obtaining a correct diagnosis. Depending on the specific field of medicine, requirements for the representation of colors may vary. For instance, for the interpretation of wound photographs, color is an indicator of the healing state of the wound, correct representation of colors is important and dermatologist are demanding standardization [1]. Other medical modalities use pseudo colors to display numerical/quantitative information on top of grayscale images. The exact color used to visualize quantitative information is less of importance as long as differences are easily perceivable and it is easy for the observer to visually determine what quantitative value is being represented by a specific color. Examples of pseudo color information are fused PET/CT images, doppler ultrasound images and contrast enhanced MRI images. Page 3 of 22

6 Fig. 3: Example of a contrast enhanced MRI image of the prostate. Image source: References: Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Radiology Greyscale calibration (DICOM GSDF) [2] is not sufficient to guarantee consistent and qualitative color visualization. DICOM GSDF calibration ensures a consistent representation of greyscales, but leaves the color behavior of display systems unaltered. Up till today there is no clear standard that describes how color medical images need to be visualized. This lack of standardization results into large variability of color appearance and makes consistency and quality assurance a challenge. Page 6 of 22

10 Findings and procedure details Color variability of medical displays If not properly calibrated, display systems have a large variability in color behavior [3]. Not only will there be large differences in how individual display systems visualize color, but also on one and the same display color visualization will change over time as the display system ages [4]. Fig. 4: Example of display aging effect [4]. Original (non-aged) image is at the center with the aged versions around it as follows. From top, clockwise: Chroma aged only at 10,000 hours, chroma aged only at 18,000 hours, chroma and luminance aging 10,000 hours, and chroma and luminance aging 18,000 hours. References: Healthcare Division, Barco - Kortrijk/BE Several scientific publications have confirmed that color variability of uncalibrated displays can be very large and is highly unpredictable [5; 6]. Page 10 of 22

11 Potential clinical implications Inconsistent color visualization can potentially have a large clinical impact. For applications where absolute correct color is important, failing to properly handle the color behavior of the display will simply result into wrong colors being visualized. Color errors can be very large [5]. If absolute color is being used for diagnosis such as eg. in dermatology then this could create risks of wrong diagnosis. For applications where pseudo color are being visualized, failing to properly handle the color behavior of the display can result into inconsistent color visualization and unpredictable visibility of subtle color differences. In practice this means that subtle differences in color may be visible on one display system but not on another display system. Or subtle differences in color may be visible on a particular display but not anymore visible on that same display a few months later as the display ages and changes color behavior. Needless to say that this is an unacceptable situation that could influence clinical decisions, but that also could negatively influence diagnostic confidence of radiologists. Guidelines and practical recommendations The section below describes clear guidelines on how to ensure consistent color visualization. These recommendations cover both the use cases of absolute color as well as pseudo color in medical images. Absolute color For medical images where absolute color correctness is important, it is recommended to use the ICC framework [7]. ICC profiles have been succesfully used in other applications such as prepress, and have proven capable of providing accurate absolute color reproduction. Using an ICC profile as such is not sufficient to guarantee accurate color visualization. There are several types of profiles that can be used and the profile type heavily influences the accuracy of the result. More detailed recommendations on what type of ICC profile should be used and how the ICC profiles should be generated can be found in a recent whitepaper [8] published by the ICC Medical Imaging Working Group (MIWG) [9]. Page 11 of 22

12 Fig. 6: Summary recommendations of the ICC MIWG related to use of ICC profiles for color visualization of medical images References: International Color Consortium Moreover since each display system has its own unique color behavior, it is extremely important that an ICC profile is used that was generated for the specific individual display system being used. Generic ICC profiles that describe the 'typical' behavior of a type of display do not offer the necessary accuracy and will result into still high color errors. Some medical display systems have an integrated front sensor that allows for making automatic measurements that can be used for ICC profile generation. Advanced medical display QA software packages [10] have support for generation of ICC profiles of individual displays. Page 12 of 22

13 Pseudo color For medical images that include pseudo colors it is recommended to calibrate the display system such that not only the greyscale behavior is perceptually linearized but also the color behavior of the display is made perceptually linear. This will ensure that subtle differences in color will be easier to perceive and that color images look similar even on different display systems. This is especially important in quantitative imaging applications. Extensive work has been done the last few years [11; 12; 13] on this topic and a proposal has been made to extend the DICOM GSDF standard towards color in order to achieve perceptual linearity of color, while still being compliant with the DICOM GSDF standard. This proposed extension was given the name CSDF (Color Standard Display Function) and is described in a recent scientific publication [14]. This publication also suggest an easy to use visual test pattern that can be used to quickly check whether a display system is properly calibrated or not. Fig. 7: Visual test pattern to verify CSDF calibration. Display is properly calibrated if all "CSDF" letters are equally well visible for each of the colors. References: Healthcare Division, Barco - Kortrijk/BE Page 13 of 22

14 Formal standardization of CSDF has recently been initiated as a possible task for AAPM TG196 [15]. In view of potential future standardization some medical display manufacturers have already incorporated the proposed CSDF standard, albeit under a different (commercial) name [16] into their systems and made it possible to fully automatically calibrate medical displays by means of Quality Assurance and Calibration Software.

18 Conclusion Color has become more and more important in medical imaging. Many imaging modalities generate color images and in many cases color information is critical for coming to a correct diagnosis. Greyscale calibration (DICOM GSDF) is not sufficient to guarantee consistent and qualitative color visualization. A standard that describes how color medical images need to be visualized does not yet exist. Recently a proposal has been made for a "Color Standard Display Function" (CSDF), an extension of DICOM GSDF towards color. This educational exhibit provided clear guidelines and recommendations on how to handle both absolute correct color as well as pseudo color medical images. Following these guidelines makes it possible to achieve accurate and consistent color behavior in medical images. Page 18 of 22
