Image Quality

DryView Laser Imaging Film delivers diagnostic-quality, continuous-tone images
along with sharp alphanumerics and optimum contrast. This high-quality silver-based
film provides radiologists with the same diagnostic information they are accustomed
to viewing – including the spatial resolution, contrast, and gray levels. Plus, because
it is a totally dry imaging process, there is no image quality variability due to "wet"
chemistry.

Automatic Image Quality Control

DryView Laser Imaging Film is system-matched for the unique Automatic Image
Quality Control (AIQC) technology. This fully automated system, which is a standard
feature of DryView Laser Imaging Systems, is designed to ensure that contrast,
density, and other image quality parameters meet preset user preferences,
film-to-film, lot-to-lot.
Barcode information on each film cartridge allows the DryView 8100 Laser Imager to
automatically determine film type, the number of sheets remaining, and the film
manufacturing lot. The AIQC uses this information to automatically calibrate the
imager's electronics and optimize image quality without operator intervention.
The AIQC also reads a special density patch printed on each 14 inch by 17 inch
sheet of DryView Laser Imaging Film as it passes through a built-in densitometer.
Slight density variations are corrected automatically.
