Guys, I've run into something out of my league. My first thought was to
decline the job (which I may well do anyway) but these guys claim they've go
nowhere else to go. If you have specialised knowledge in this field and are
interested in the job please contact me OFFLIST <email@hidden>. If I decide to
decline the job (which I will unless I'm confident I can undertake it) I'd
be happy to forward your contact info to the client.
A client has asked if I can calibrate his Win 2000 monitors all running
Matrox Dualhead G400/G450 and NEC multisync LCD 2110 or Barco 2k NGD221. The
catch is they need to match the proprietary medical imaging system they use.
The standard monitors need to match both the proprietary
monitors/workstations and the film output which are running a "pacs" and a
"mem" system (I have no idea what that means though).
This particular client does medical imaging (X-Ray) and output film on
"Kodak Ektascan 2180 laserprinter" and "Kodak dryview 8700".
The goal of the job is to be able to evaluate the x-ray images on standard
Win monitors (for remote/decentralised diagnosis), but these needs to be
extremely similar to the x-ray film output. Just imagine the possible
consequences if they don't match...
The implications/solution as I see it it this:
They currently run an closed loop system where their workstations and film
output match in a proprietary system. I need to tap into this and be able to
create a ICC quality soft-proof that can be used on say remote director or
Photoshop. This way I can simply profile each monitor and set up soft-proof
and be on my way (figuratively speaking).
I'm thinking along the lines of measuring the calibrated film output (that
supposedly is stable?!?) with an automated transmission densitometer like
the GM ICColor and create some sort custom "profile" to be used for
soft-proof. I realise this probably needs to be updated on a regular basis.
I'm just not sure exactly how to do this so any hints or ideas are welcome.
If there are any other third party solutions that can do the job, I'd be
more than happy to hear about them...
