New Image Processing Software Delivers Important Benefits

The company also showed new operating software for its CR and DR portfolio that contains KODAK DIRECTVIEW EVP Plus, which provides more consistent image presentation and allows for simple and independent control of brightness, latitude, detail contrast and other parameters. In addition, a new tool available with EVP Plus allows for images to be calibrated to radiologist preferences, which optimizes image presentation and reduces the need for reprocessing. The software also supports a virtually unlimited number of body parts and projections.


The new software's proven interface protocols facilitate the communication of images and information to the PACS; ensure the simple and easy processing of patient studies and demographic information; and deliver consistent images in soft copy and hard copy formats. As with the company's past software versions, a similar user interface for CR and DR platforms improves technologist productivity and reduces the need for training.

Carestream Health also demonstrated its new long-length imaging system for its KODAK DIRECTVIEW DR 7500 platform that uses a tube tilting method to improve image alignment and reduce space requirements. This system provides efficient, automatic acquisition and stitching of up to five exposures and can produce images that are 17 inches (43 cm) wide and up to 64.5 inches (164 cm) in length. The fully automated software eliminates the need to orient or align images and incorporates basic orthopaedic measurement tools.

Carestream Health's digital radiography portfolio includes: the KODAK DIRECTVIEW DR 9500 System with a ceiling-mounted U-arm that contains both a tube and detector to deliver unprecedented mobility and operational flexibility; the KODAK DIRECTVIEW DR 7500 System that offers outstanding flexibility with single- and dual-detector configurations and wall stand and table options; and the KODAK DIRECTVIEW 3500 System that delivers the small footprint, functionality and convenience required by a broad range of healthcare facilities.

The company offers a comprehensive family of tabletop, mobile, single- and multi-cassette CR systems. Carestream Health's broad portfolio of CR and DR systems equips hospitals, outpatient imaging centers, orthopaedic practices and other healthcare providers with digital image capture for x-ray imaging studies.
