4 Film Technical Information
General Description
This section describes the characteristics of laser imaging film, not the
operation of the laser imager. The laser imaging film is a
high-resolution, infrared-sensitive, photothermographic film designed
specifically for the laser imager. The laser imaging film is packaged in
daylight-load packages and is available in blue, clear, and
mammography film types.
Spectral Sensitivity The laser imaging film is infrared sensitive and has been sensitized to
the infrared laser diode of the imager. When handled according to
instructions on the daylight-load film package, safelights are not
needed. If you remove undeveloped film from the daylight-load
package, you will need a darkroom setting and a green safelight.
Relative Log Exposure (Example)
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 the spatial resolution, contrast, and gray levels.
Because it is a totally dry imaging process, there is no image quality
variability due to wet chemistry.
