Planar is also introducing the new Dome EX line with color and grayscale displays in 2- and 3-megapixel resolutions, as well as a new 5-megapixel grayscale display. The new color displays are meant for use in a distributed PACS environment for areas ranging from radiology and cardiology, to dermatology and applications in the OR. The new grayscale displays (E2, E3 and E5) are designed for the diagnostic applications including CT, magnetic resonance (MR), ultrasound, CR, digital radiography (DR), NM, digitized film and mammography.

The Dome EX line of DICOM-calibrated diagnostic imaging displays features Planar's Dome DA4 hardware architecture. The novelties are compatible with Dome CXtra and Dome Dashboard software. The former monitors and controls DICOM calibration using data from the Planar RightLight integrated photometer. Dome Dashboard is a console application which enables PACS administrators and IT managers to centrally manage, control and report on their entire line of Dome medical imaging displays.

The Dome E3 is currently available through online and direct resellers and through Planar's PACS software partners. The Dome E2 will be available in the beginning of December with the remaining products to follow in early 2006.
