Specialized Medical Device for Digitizing
X-ray Films
Paper scanning is an office task and can be done with
general office equipment. Medical film digitizing is an
imaging procedure governed by medical and industry
regulations. VIDAR's Dental Film Digitizer is specifically
tailored for dental applications and is the only digitizer that
meets U.S. and European guidelines for dental
applications. Digital images can now legally replace the
original x-ray film. Special attention must be paid to the
unique challenges of accurately and reliably visualizing the
details in medical films – an opinion and/or decision will be
made about patient care based on these images.
VIDAR employs specialized optics to deliver quality results
specifically for transmissive materials such as x-rays, not
reflective media. The Dental Film Digitizer is designed to
accurately render the full grayscale data with minimal
noise throughout the specified grayscale density range,
and has a unique ADC (Automatic Digitizer Calibration)
feature that ensures excellent grayscale reproduction.
Clinically Proven Image Quality
Clinical studies at leading institutions such as Johns
Hopkins University and the Mallinckrodt Institute of
Radiology have demonstrated an effective clinical
comparison between film and VIDAR's digitized images,
even in demanding applications like mammography where
native resolution may approach 16+ LP/mm.
