Carestream Health has launched a new version of its Kodak MIN-R 2000 film for mammography that delivers image quality enhancements along with improved processing stability and reduced processing artifacts.
Improvements to the film include higher D-max and midscale contrast; cooler, bluer image tone; reducing handling and processing artifacts; and greater stability and less sensitivity to processing variables, according to Carestream.
For most applications, the updated MIN-R 2000 Plus film should not require changes to x-ray equipment or significant adjustments in exposure. The film uses the same screens and cassettes as the Kodak MIN-R 2000 film, Carestream said.
