Clinton DS5000P

The Orwin Associates Model Clinton DS5000P monitor features a high line rate, high contrast gray scale capability for medical imaging in the portrait or landscape mode. The modular construction and flexible design permit the Clinton DS-5000P to be configured for mammography in landscape or for chest in portrait. Custom electron optics holds the spot (pixel) size down at high drive levels providing 150 ftL of luminance with an anti-reflective coated panel for improved contrast ratio in procedural applications. An optional darker panel provides additional contrast enhancement at 100 ftL, for diagnostic reads in controlled ambient conditions for superior grayscale rendering.

The custom electron optics also provide improved performance over the large 300x400 mm active video area, minimizing spot growth into the corners and at the critical 5% point. Precise control of the spot shape improves focus and enhances the contrast modulation for diagnostic reads over the full screen. Low noise P45 phosphor provides a smooth uniform screen with long term durability not possible with blended phosphors. A state-of-the-art video amplifier with custom features provides the bandwidth and dynamic range needed to achieve the rated luminance with reserve video drive capability to compensate for CRT aging. The combination of long life P45 phosphor and a standard dispenser cathode provides extended useful life in a demanding application. Service requirements are minimized with automatic black level adjustment under microprocessor control at programmed intervals.
