Evaluate the performance of the monitors used for diagnosis based on the parameters defined by AAMP. Materials and Methods: Using calibrated instrumentation traceable to NIST and RBC, were evaluated in 15 monitors, according to the procedures described in AAMP's report 03 and the Spanish protocol in the following parameters: the general aspects of image quality, geometric distortion, screen reflection and room illumination, luminance response, luminance dependence, spatial and low contrast resolution, noise, internal reflection blanking and screen chromaticity. Results: 100% compliance for geometric distortion tests and 0% compliance for the luminance dependence test. Conclusions: There are nonspecific monitors for diagnosis being used for these purposes, without routinely checking tests, in rooms with high illumination and dirt on the screens and the non-implementation or inadequacy of acceptance and quality control tests. The monitors declared by the manufacturers as diagnostic specific on average showed a higher compliance rate- Views: 120
