Carestream Health of Rochester, NY, has received approval from Health Canada for mammography features for its Kodak DirectView Classic and Elite computed radiography (CR) systems.
Canadian healthcare facilities will now be able to perform mammography exams with the CR units, in addition to general radiography, long-length, and dental exams. Both systems are single-cassette readers, with Elite offering a throughput of up to 98 35 x 43-cm cassettes an hour and Classic offering a throughput of 68 cassettes an hour.
The Kodak DirectView CR Mammography feature includes capabilities such as two-up image printing aligned with the narrow chest wall, support for interfaces that expedite the exchange of image information with other vendors' digital mammography and RIS/PACS software, and reduction of digital artifacts at the skin line.
