Planar video walls help Massey in the fight against cancer

In the multidisciplinary meetings held at the MCV of the Massey, the new Led video walls of the MGP series Planar have become the key piece. Specifically, an MGP1.5 system of 136 inches and two MGP1,2 of 108 inches.

In it VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center de Richmond Antiquated audiovisual systems in all three conference rooms have been updated with Planar fine-pitch LED video walls.

Based in Richmond, and was part of Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center is dedicated to working to combat this disease.

Massey was founded in 1974 and conducts cancer research in multiple fields, like basic sciences (laboratory), the investigation, clinical and population sciences. The center stands out for translating the discoveries made in the treatment and prevention of cancer, while addressing disparities in cancer care to ensure equal access to testing and treatment.

On the MCV campus (Medical College of Virginia) Massey's AV systems in all three conference rooms were outdated and in need of upgrades. After getting a grant, hired Code3AV to advise you in finding a solution, betting on Planar's fine pitch LED video walls.

The AV installation includes three videowalls Led Planar MGP Complete. In the Thalhimer conference room, located in the Goodwin Research Building, one of them is found 136 inches, a size of 3 meters wide and 1,6 high, and a distance between pixels of 1,5 mm (MGP1,5).

The other two are located in the two conference rooms located at the McGlothlin Medical Education Center (MMEC). With his 108 inches, These present a format of 2,5 meters wide and 1,3 tall with a distance between pixels of 1,2 mm (MGP1,2 ).

Actual representation

Better cancer treatment outcomes can be achieved when cohesive teams of medical experts work collaboratively.. En el VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center, oncologists, pathologists, surgeons, nurses, counselors and different professionals regularly participate in this multidisciplinary approach to identify the best treatment plan, personalized for each patient.

Massey convenes these meetings - known as multidisciplinary tumor boards- in the MMEC conference rooms, where Planar MGP Series Led Video Walls play a critical role in providing high-clear visualizations of CT scans, x-rays, MRIs and other types of imaging, crucial for detecting and analyzing cancer cells.

“Massey is a leader in Virginia and across the United States in advancing interdisciplinary care”, states William McCormick, Director of IT Services at Massey. “Medical equipment, Nurses and specialists meet in these conference rooms to deliberate on each patient's case and the best treatment plan. When they see medical images, It is very important that what you are seeing is accurate. There can be no distortion when examining cancer cells”.

This requirement was a determining factor when selecting the Planar MGP series LED video walls..

“Planar solutions provide a faithful representation of medical images without compression or artifacts”, states Mike Neal, Code3AV sales engineer. “Images of laptops, in its native 1080p resolution, displayed on video walls with an exact pixel-by-pixel match. If you enlarge the images, the correct pixel size is kept intact. That was a very critical path with this project”.

The conference rooms are also used by several Massey programs and departments for cancer-related meetings and are equipped with cameras, microphones and automated camera tracking for video conferencing.

“The video walls are extremely bright and very detailed”, says McCormick. “People can easily see the screens from anywhere in the rooms. It's exactly what we needed, the perfect solution for what we want to achieve”.

Flagship Conference Room Renovation

Adjacent to the Massey director's office is the Thalhimer conference room, the organization's main venue for high-level meetings and presentations.

Like the multidisciplinary tumor boards held in the MMEC conference rooms, Thalhimer also serves as a meeting space for assemblies focused on developmental therapeutics. According to McCormick, the new Planar MGP Complete LED video wall 136 inches provides a great improvement in these activities.

“Thalhimer is the place where we receive senators, dignitaries, diplomats, as well as organizations such as the National Cancer Institute and the American Association for Cancer Research”, McCormick comments.. “The impression we make in these meetings is extremely important and the video wall plays a crucial role in this regard.: It's really impressive”.

Peter Norman, CEO of Code3AV, emphasized the two main objectives of the audiovisual update carried out: offer a solution that is easy to use and true to form with optics.

“Our approach has always been to view solutions from the customer's perspective and provide them with the right technology for the best possible user experience.”, Norman said.. “We believe we meet these expectations here”.
