This browser cannot report the window's size in exact display pixels at the current scaling, so the pattern may be resampled and its bar patterns may not show at their true periods.
Set browser zoom to 100% and display scaling to 100% or 200%, or use another browser.
TG18-OIQ
PATTERN DESCRIPTION:
This pattern provides visual evaluation of display performance based on the AAPM TG18-OIQ specification (equivalent to TG18-QC without Cx patterns). It scales to fill the browser window using a 102-pixel grid pitch referenced to a 1024x1024 pattern.
GRAY STEPS:
- 16 cells covering gray levels 8–248 in equal steps (16 gray levels per step)
- Include low-contrast corner patches (±4 gray levels)
- Black cell (0): centered 50% sub-patch at gray 13 (5%)
- White cell (255): centered 50% sub-patch at gray 242 (95%)
LUMINANCE RAMPS:
- Left ramp: 255 (top) → 0 (bottom)
- Right ramp: 0 (top) → 255 (bottom)
WINDOW RESPONSE BANDS (above gray step grid):
- Outer band: black over white
- Inner strips: white over black
- For evaluating video signal artifacts
QUALITY CONTROL PANELS (below gray step grid):
- Three regions: black (0), mid-gray (128), white (255)
- Each contains "QUALITY CONTROL" text with per-letter contrast
- Q = ±14 gray levels, decreasing by 1 to L = ±1 gray level
CROSSTALK SECTION (above window bands):
- White band over black band
- For evaluating pixel crosstalk
SPATIAL RESOLUTION FEATURES:
- 5 instances: center and four window corners
- Left half: high contrast (0/255)
- Right half: low contrast (128/130)
- Each half has 4 quadrants: vertical 2 px/lp, vertical 4 px/lp, horizontal 2 px/lp, horizontal 4 px/lp
- Bar periods are fixed in display pixels and do not change with zoom
USAGE:
- On a DICOM-conformant display, all low-contrast corner patches should be equally visible
- The high-contrast line pairs in the center and corners should appear crisp
- All letters of QUALITY CONTROL should be visible
- The 0/5% and 95/100% patches are not a reliable indicator of display performance
CONTROLS:
- Click and drag: Pan
- Mouse wheel: Zoom (1x–10x)
- ⟲ or R: Reset view
- ? or H: Show/hide this help
- Window resize: Auto-reset
NOTES:
- Bar patterns are drawn in display pixels at any OS scaling or browser zoom. A browser that cannot
report the exact canvas size at a fractional scaling shows a notice on load.
- macOS: use the display's default resolution. Scaled resolutions resample the whole screen
after the browser draws, which no web page can detect or undo.
- Pattern scales to fit the window dimensions
