    Laser Imaging Film can be left on a light box for more than 24 hours; in extreme cases in which light boxes are exceptionally hot (120°F/49°C), Kodak recommends removing them prior to 8 hours of continuous exposure. Take care when using spotlight viewing for more than 30 seconds because temperatures near the light source may exceed 180°F/82.2°C.

    The Kodak DryView 8900 Laser Imager has a built-in Automatic Image Quality Control (AIQC) system that automatically compensates for film lot variations, ensuring consistent print densities. The MQSA requires that the mammography facility establish a quality control (QC) process that verifies the effectiveness of the AIQC system.

Then determine which step has a density closest to but not less than 0.45. Designate the difference between these densities as Density Difference (DD). b.Determine which step has an average density closest to but not less than 1.20.

    The MQSA requires that a sensitometric test be run daily and that clinical images be made only when the control chart is within the control ranges. Kodak recommends the following laser imager test. Perform this test daily before clinical mammograms are performed, to ensure quality output. Plot the values obtained from the test on the chart for comparison with the film parameter values established in the baseline test.
