Eastman Kodak Health Group has launched a new general-purpose medical x-ray film that can reduce patient radiation exposure by up to 50%, according to the Rochester, NY, company.
In addition to its ability to reduce radiation dose, the Hyper Speed G medical film has a higher film speed, which reduces the need for retakes when medical images are blurred due to patient motion. The film is designed to be used with existing screens and cassettes in most cases, according to the company.
Hyper Speed G is now available in the U.S. and Canada, while shipments will begin in Europe, Latin America, and Asia in May.
