Carestream Health Shows New Tabletop Laser Imager For Mammography, General Radiography Applications


CHICAGO, Nov. 30 — Carestream Health, Inc., announced a new tabletop, low- to mid-volume laser imager that will provide healthcare professionals with 508 pixels-per-inch (ppi) output— ideal for mammography and general radiography applications. The CARESTREAM DRYVIEW 5850 Laser Imager, currently a work in progress, is scheduled to be available worldwide in the first half of 2009.

The new laser imager will address the need for affordable laser-quality film output from full-field digital mammography (FFDM) and CR-based mammography systems. The imager, with two on-line film trays, will support DICOM printing for mammography and general radiography onto five film sizes: 20 x 25 cm, 25 x 30 cm, 28 x 35 cm, 35 x 35 cm, and 35 x 43 cm. It will offer a D-max up to 4.0 with proven DRYVIEW laser imager quality and platform reliability.
