36 AAPM s WGMD Purpose: The Working Group on Medical Displays provides guidelines to clinicians, medical physicists, developers, and engineers as to the use of display devices for image viewing across a variety of disciplines and specialties. WGMD identifies display use and performance testing methodologies that would benefit from increase communication between industry and medical professionals, and from tutorial and guideline documents.
