Page 29: Introduction
Introduction Kodak DryView 8150 Laser Imager The Kodak DryView 8150 Laser Imager is a continuous-tone laser imager with an internal photothermographic film processor. Heat, rather than photo chemicals, is used to develop the film. The Imager receives digital images from medical image source devices (modalities) over a network.
Page 30 Introduction H200_0036CAA 8150 Laser Imager 7F3319 October 4, 2004...
Page 31: How The Laser Imager Works
Image Source Devices Modality Network Modality Kodak DryView 8150 Laser Imager H200_0001ba Modality The Imager has hard-disk storage for a large number of digital images. As images arrive, they are stored on the hard disk and placed in a print queue (sequenced for printing) based on time of receipt and priority.
Page 32: Print Sequence
Introduction During normal operation the Imager requires very little operator attention. The Imager prints automatically in response to print requests from the associated image devices. Information sent along with images by the modalities, such as film size, density and priority, control the print operations.

Page 125: Adding A Modality
Adding a Modality After the Imager has been placed into service, you can later configure the Imager to print images from additional modalities. The Imager is capable of receiving images from twelve DICOM-compatible modalities concurrently. Adding a modality involves adjusting some of the image quality settings in the Imager to match the new modality.
Page 126: Modality-Related Parameters
Adding a Modality Modality-Related Parameters The Imager must be configured to print from each connected modality. In the Imager a set of modality-specific parameters must be created for each modality that will print to the Imager. For many modalities, the required parameters can be taken from the "Modality Preferences Database"...
Page 127: Configuration Procedure
Adding a Modality Configuration Procedure The modality setup procedure is performed on the Imager Local Panel. 1. Be sure that the proper film size and type required for the modality is loaded in the Imager. 2. Start from the Home screen. 3.
