  • Page 65: Film Technical Information

    Film Technical Information This section describes the characteristics of Laser Imaging Film, not the operation of the imager. The Laser Imaging Film is a high-resolution, infrared-sensitive, photothermographic film designed specifically for the imager. Spectral Sensitivity of the Film The Laser Imaging Film is infrared sensitive and has been sensitized to the infrared laser diode of the imagers.

  • Page 66: Film Image Quality

    Film Technical Information Film Image Quality The Laser Imaging Film delivers diagnostic-quality, continuous-tone images along with sharp alphanumerics and optimum contrast. This high-quality, silver-based film provides health care providers with the same diagnostic information they are accustomed to viewing—including spatial resolution, contrast, and gray levels. Because it is a totally dry imaging process, there is no image quality variability due to wet chemistry.

  • Page 67: Undeveloped Film Handling And Storage

    Film Technical Information Undeveloped Film Handling and Storage To achieve consistent results up to the expiration date indicated on the film package, the Laser Imaging Film must be stored in a cool, dry place (4–24 °C, or 39–75 °F) and properly shielded from x-rays, gamma rays, or other penetrating radiation.

  • Page 68: Exposing Film To Moisture

    Film Technical Information Exposing Film to Moisture The Laser Imaging Films typically withstand humidity, spills, and other forms of water without any significant effect on image quality or film integrity. If needed, film can be cleaned with a clean, damp cloth. Odor Dissipation Dry technology eliminates nearly all processing odors.
