Introduction

The Kodak DryView 8600 Laser Imaging System / for Mammography

The Kodak DryView 8600 Laser Imager / for Mammography is a continuous tone
laser imager with an integrated photothermographic film developer. The imager
produces high-quality monochrome images, using an optical laser scanning system,
a data control system that manages external data flow, and a film developer.
The imager uses 8 by 10-inch (20.3 by 25.4 cm) Kodak DryView Mammography
Laser Imaging Film. Each film package contains 100 sheets of film.
The imager produces the first print in approximately 185 seconds, and subsequent
prints at approximately 25 prints per hour. It can produce output from more than one
modality.
The imager acquires, formats and prints images under control of a host modality.
The operator uses a local panel on the imager for control of various local functions.
No machine maintenance is required of the operator.
