From Legacy to Leading-Edge | How One Hospital Digitized Its Radiology QA with PerfectLum

In the evolving landscape of digital radiology transformation, hospitals are under increasing pressure to modernize their imaging environments without compromising diagnostic precision. One hospital’s journey from manual quality checks to fully automated QA with QUBYX’s PerfectLum showcases how visionary thinking, paired with the right technology, can redefine medical excellence.

The Challenge: Outdated QA Slowing Modern Medicine

For years, the hospital relied on legacy QA methods — manual logs, unverified display settings, and periodic audits that couldn’t keep pace with today’s rapid imaging workflows. As diagnostic workloads grew, inconsistencies between monitors led to unreliable grayscale visibility, delayed reporting, and higher operational costs.

In an era where medical IT modernization determines both speed and safety, the hospital’s radiology department faced a clear imperative: digitize or fall behind.

The Vision: Embracing Digital Radiology Transformation

The goal wasn’t just to upgrade hardware — it was to lead a full digital radiology transformation that aligned with DICOM Part 14 GSDF, AAPM TG18, and DIN 6868-157 standards.

The hospital’s leadership identified a need for a hospital QA upgrade that would ensure every diagnostic display, whether in the reading room or the operating theater, maintained pixel-perfect accuracy. Their IT and biomedical teams sought a software-first solution that could automate calibration, verification, and documentation across all workstations.

The Solution: PerfectLum by QUBYX

Enter PerfectLum, the industry-proven software by QUBYX, engineered for precision display calibration and automated QA.
Unlike conventional systems that depend heavily on expensive hardware calibrators, PerfectLum delivers software-driven calibration that’s compliant with all major medical standards.

Why PerfectLum Was Chosen

• End-to-End QA Automation: Real-time DICOM GSDF compliance testing and reporting.

• Seamless Integration: Works with existing PACS/RIS systems and monitor brands.

• Regulatory Readiness: Built-in compliance templates for IEC 62563-1, FDA, and DIN QA reporting.

• Cost Efficiency: Eliminates redundant hardware costs through centralized management.

By digitizing the QA process, the hospital achieved full visibility into the performance of every diagnostic display — ensuring every radiologist viewed images exactly as intended, every time.

Implementation Journey: From Pilot to Enterprise-Wide Success

The PerfectLum implementation began with a pilot in the radiology department, covering 12 diagnostic and 8 clinical displays. Within weeks, calibration consistency improved by over 30%, and QA logs became entirely paperless.
Encouraged by these results, the hospital extended deployment across all imaging departments — including cardiology, pathology, and teleradiology units.

PerfectLum’s cloud-enabled dashboard simplified compliance tracking. IT administrators could now monitor calibration status, receive alerts for deviations, and generate audit-ready QA reports with a single click.

Results: Precision, Efficiency, and Peace of Mind

Within six months, the hospital had fully transitioned to a digital QA model, marking a milestone in its digital radiology transformation journey.

Key Outcomes

• 99.9% Display Compliance: Across all clinical environments.

• 50% Reduction in QA Time: Through automated scheduling and remote management.

• Zero Missed Audits: Regulatory inspections became smoother with automated documentation.

• Significant Cost Savings: No additional investment in proprietary calibration hardware.

As the Chief Radiologist summarized,

“PerfectLum turned QA from a compliance headache into a strategic advantage. Now, every display is calibrated, verified, and audit-ready — all in the background.”

Beyond QA: The Broader Impact of Medical IT Modernization

Digitizing radiology QA is more than a technical upgrade — it’s a cultural shift toward medical IT modernization.
By integrating QUBYX solutions, the hospital not only optimized its radiology performance but also laid the foundation for broader digital integration across its IT ecosystem — including HIS, LIS, and PACS interoperability.

This transformation ensures that diagnostic confidence remains consistent, even as imaging modalities evolve and remote reading becomes mainstream.

Conclusion: The Future Is Software-First

The hospital’s journey from legacy QA processes to fully digital automation exemplifies what’s possible when vision meets technology.
Through QUBYX and PerfectLum, digital radiology transformation isn’t just about modernization — it’s about ensuring every image tells the truth, every time.
