Carestream Health has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for the use of its Vue Motion image viewer on several mobile platforms.
Vue Motion is now cleared for diagnostic review of x-ray studies on Apple's iPhone 4S and iPad 2, as well as Samsung's Galaxy Note and Galaxy S III mobile devices, according to the vendor.
To maximize image contrast and detail sharpness on mobile devices, Carestream recommends the frequent and concurrent use of Vue Motion viewing tools such as zoom, pan, and window level adjustments during diagnostic image review. Caution should also be taken while viewing computed radiography and digital radiography images to ensure optimal contrast and detail sharpness, the company said.
