Relative Log Exposure
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 grey levels. 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 Kodak patented
Automatic Image Quality Control (AIQC) technology. This fully automated
system, which is a standard feature of DryView Laser Imagers, is designed
to ensure that contrast, density and other image quality parameters meet
preset user preferences, film-to-film, lot-to-lot.
An RF-TAG mounted on each film cartridge lets the laser imager
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 system reads a special density patch printed on each sheet of
DryView Laser Imaging Film as it passes through a built-in densitometer.
