Benefits

• This system is easy to install and has a small footprint area, so fits almost anywhere.
• The unit uses the latest developed CR technologies, thus producing the highest quality images ever available from a Carestream CR product.
• Rapid processing of images minimises your time with the system. The system processes up to 60 (35 x 43 cm) cassettes per hour
• Rapid data entry with the latest touch screen interface.
• Never get lost in the software with clear workflow supported by a colourful user interface.
• The screens are rigid, meaning that screens do not leave the cassettes and therefore there are no complex screen handling systems inside the CR reader.
• Manual black surround masking allows image manipulation and re-processing of the raw images to ensure optimum image quality is achieved.

Software Options

EVP Plus: Take image quality and diagnostic confidence to a new level. This technological breakthrough extends image latitude without loss of detailed contrast. All original image data is used and retained during image processing and enhancement.

Procedure Mapping: Saves time and keystrokes by preloading prodecure and exam information into the CR database. 

Black surround: Masking software that eliminates foreground flare to aid the interpretation of images and enhance viewing.

Webserver:  Store and distribute images within an IT network for review and manipulation. Flexible and easily expandable, this allows soft copy reporting and the sending and receiving of digital images from other sites and modalities. Other staff members can review images locally, from other sites, or at home on a standard PC or laptop.

Hardware Options

Remote Operating Panel: Touch screen SVGA device with 600 x 800 pixel resolution. This can be used in the examination room.

Viewing Monitors: A variety of different viewing monitors are available from 17" or 19" high brightness monitors to 5megapixel grey scale monitors.

Printers: A variety of printer options are available for on-site printing of x-rays onto film.

Print to Film Service

If you don't want to invest in a printer at this stage, use our 'Print to Film' service. Send us the images you require, either by posting a CD or email xray@bcftechnology.com and receive them back on film, usually the next day. A small cost applies per film.
