5 Film Technical Information
General Description
This section describes the characteristics of KODAK DRYVIEW Laser
Imaging Film, not the operation of the 6850 Laser Imager. DRYVIEW
Laser Imaging Film is a high-resolution, infrared-sensitive,
photothermographic film designed specifically for the family of
DRYVIEW Laser Imagers. DRYVIEW Laser Imaging Film is packaged
in daylight-load packages and is available in blue, clear, and
mammography 7-mil polyester base.
Spectral Sensitivity DRYVIEW Laser Imaging Film is infrared sensitive and has been
sensitized to the infrared laser diode of DRYVIEW Laser Imagers.
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 DRYVIEW 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.
