In der Medizin kommt immer mehr der Begriff „DICOM Standard“ (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) als Kriterium bei der Anschaffung von Projektoren auf.
Hierbei handelt es sich um einen Standard für – handling, storing, printing, and transmitting information in medical imaging.
Es gibt verschiedene Projektoren, die diese Anforderungen erfüllen, so z.B. der Sanyo PDG-DET100L.

• Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) is a standard
for handling, storing, printing, and transmitting information in medical imaging.
The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) holds the copyright to this standard.
• DICOM files can be exchanged between two entities
that are capable of receiving image and patient data in DICOM format.
• DICOM has been widely adopted by hospitals and is making inroadsin smaller applications like dentists‘ and doctors‘ offices.
• DICOM enables the integration of scanners, servers, workstations, printers, and network hardware from multiple manufacturers into a picture archiving and communication system (PACS).
• Dicom Part 14: Grayscale Standard Display Function
• In medical imaging, it is important that there be a visual consistency in how a given digital image appears, whether viewed, for example, on the display monitor of a workstation or as a film on a light-box.
Otherwise the diagnostic value can be heavily reduced even more if seen on different devices.
Accordingly, PS 3.14 was developed to provide an objective, quantitative mechanism for mapping digital image values into a given range of Luminance.
An application which knows this relationship between digital values and display luminance can produce better visual consistency in how that image appears on diverse display devices.
