    Medical Imaging Working Group Adobe Systems Incorporated, Corporate Headquarters 345 Park Ave, East tower San Jose, CA 95110 USA 13 October 2015 Craig Revie, MIWG chair, opened the meeting at 13:30 and introduced the agenda for the meeting as follows: 1. Using the ICC framework for colour calibration of medical displays 2. Calibration of medical displays using ICC profiles 3. Estimation of errors associated with film-based calibration Summary and status of each area of activity in MIWG: 4. Whole slide imaging 5. Medical photography guidelines 6. Calibration materials for ophthalmology 7. Petri dish imaging 8. Skin imaging 1. Using the ICC framework for colour calibration of medical displays Dr Tom Kimpe presented activities to date on display calibration [see attached]. Visualisation of greyscale images on colour displays had been discussed in August, and the current goal was to extend this to colour images. A new draft of a proposed recommendations document had been circulated [see attached], and he invited feedback so that the document can be finalised. Dr Kimpe showed the calibration framework, in which data is converted to the PCS using a CSDF profile. From feedback received improvements had been made to the profile, full details are in the draft document. New results showing the errors arising from different LUT sizes and gamma values had been included. The importance of using 10-bit data was clear as it minimises calibration error; for LUT size, there was only marginal improvement with a grid spacing of over 30. Accurate modelling was also important. Dr Kimpe showed the draft recommendations that are in the document, and asked for feedback by October 19.

  • Color Calibration
    B Color Calibration All photographers are concerned with accurate and pleasing color rendition, be it on monitors or in prints; and there may be no more critical audience, in more than one sense, than the wedding couple and their circle of friends and family. You want your work to look its absolute best, whether you are presenting the Proofing Show on your laptop, showing the crown jewel of your work—the wedding album—or even running a quick slideshow of pleasing pictures taken earlier, at the reception. As with everything else connected with digital photogra- phy, this does not happen by magic. As usual, a bit of technical knowledge is nec- essary, along with some preparation with your monitor, and perhaps your camera and scanner as well, using some tools and tests to tune your devices so that the colors you display closely match each other, and look good doing it. We’ll explain the necessity in relatively painless technical terms, then present effective tools and procedures for calibrating your equipment, including important tips, advice on choosing appropriate equipment, and links to further information all the way out to the physics of light and color for adventurous readers. Did You Notice That Red Light? If you have ever heard that question, you might carefully consider asking politely about yellow or green, but you would probably not ask, “What do you mean by ‘red’?” Color, however, is a slippery concept, except when physicists speak in terms of the length of light waves, and even then there are arbitrary divisions and nam- ing conventions.

    WHITE PAPER www.baslerweb.com Color Calibration of Basler Cameras 1. What is Color? When talking about a specific color it often happens that it is described differently by different people. The color perception is created by the brain and the human eye together. For this reason, the subjective perception may vary. By effectively correcting the human sense of sight by means of effective methods, this effect can even be observed for the same person. Physical color sensations are created by electromagnetic waves of wavelengths between 380 and 780 nm. In our eyes, these waves stimulate receptors for three different Content color sensitivities. Their signals are processed in our brains to form a color sensation. 1. What is Color? ......................................................................... 1 2.

  • Visualization of Medical Content on Color Display Systems
    White Paper # 44 Level: Advanced Date: April 2016 Visualization of medical content on color display systems 1. Introduction Since 1993, the International Color Consortium (ICC) has worked on standardization and evolution of color management architecture. The architecture relies on profiles which describe the color characteristics of a device in a reference color space. The ICC1 describes its profiles as “… tools to translate color data created on one device into another device's native color space […] permitting tremendous flexibility to both users and vendors. For example, it allows users to be sure that their image will retain its color fidelity when moved between systems and applications”. This document focuses on results and recommendations for the correct use of ICC profiles for visualization of grayscale (GSDF [1]) and color medical images on color displays. These recommendations allow for visualization of medical content on color display systems, whereby DICOM GSDF images, pseudo color images and color accurate images can all be presented effectively on the same display. The results and recommendations in this document were first discussed in the ICC Medical Imaging Working Group (MIWG). 2. Calibration requirements, standards and guidelines for medical displays Medical displays that are used for primary diagnosis need to achieve minimum performance levels to ensure that subtle details in radiological images are visible to the radiologist. The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) and The American College of Radiology (ACR) developed a Standard for Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) [1]. Part 14 describes the Grayscale 1 http://color.org/abouticc.xalter Standard Display Function (GSDF). This standard defines a way to take the existing Characteristic Curve of a display system (i.e.

  • Color Calibration of Digital Brightfield Microscope Images Using Colorimetry with a Color Standard Slide
    TITLE: Color Calibration of Digital Brightfield Microscope Images Using Colorimetry with a Color Standard Slide AUTHORS: Mark Clymer, Hong Wei Datacolor Inc., Lawrenceville, NJ, USA ABSTRACT: Color in digital brightfield images varies widely due to a number of hardware, software and firmware influences in addition to preparation of the specimen itself. Traditionally, color is adjusted both pre- and post-acquisition using software algorithms and/or image editing. In this poster, we present the effectiveness of an objective, color standard-based post-acquisition color calibration method. INTRODUCTION: Aside from the microscope components, the color accuracy of digital brightfield images is typically determined by the quality of the detector (i.e. digital camera), the nature of on-board color correction algorithms, software-based user-selectable color and contrast enhancements, white balancing and monitor display accuracy. Variation in any of these elements leads to inconsistency in images between imaging sessions, operators and systems. A variety of software applications afford researchers the ability to adjust color in images, but none use a color standard and objective determination of the color variance from the specimen itself in order to effect a color correction. We present a colorimetric and objective approach to color calibrating digital brightfield images. MATERIALS & METHODS: Prepared histology slides (Triarch Incorporated, Ripon, WI, USA) were selected to provide a sample of commonly used stains and tonal ranges. Stains included H&E, Wright, Verhoeff’s, Masson’s trichrome, Iron Hematoxylin, silver, and no stain. Image acquisition was performed using a Lumenera Infinity 2-1R color microscope camera mounted on a Zeiss Axio Scope.A1 with planachromat optics and 100W halogen light source (Carl Zeiss Inc., Thornwood, NY, USA).
