Tabletop Dry Laser Imager Features Automatic Image Quality Control

By MedImaging International staff writers
Posted on 14 Jun 2011

A laser imager provides cost-effective, tabletop output of computed radiography (CR), digital radiography (DR), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography (CT) scans onto medical film.

The Dryview 5700 system has been designed to meet the specialized radiology needs of clinics, imaging centers, and other medical imaging services providers. Laser imagers are widely used to print radiology images from digital X-ray systems for diagnostic, referral, and archival purposes. Its compact size, high quality, and effectiveness combined with low operating costs make it a suitable solution for healthcare providers of all sizes.

This newest Carestream Health (Rochester, NY, USA) laser imager also features automatic image quality control, which contributes to the system's ease of operation by ensuring superior quality images with no operator intervention. An intuitive user interface speeds operation and eliminates the need for detailed user training. Carestream Health's laser imagers are available in models ranging from tabletop systems designed for imaging centers, small hospitals, and clinics to fully featured units for high volume, multimodality output at hospitals of all sizes.

Images in a 75-year-old woman who underwent routine screening mammography in 2022. Left mediolateral oblique views shown from prior screening mammograms: (A) 2015, (B) 2018, (C) 2019, and (D) 2021. In (E) 2022, a new mass developed in the left breast at the 6-o’clock position (arrow), with a (F) corresponding irregular mass at US (arrow). Subsequent US-guided core needle biopsy yielded invasive ductal carcinoma, grade 2. The deep learning 5-year risk scores gradually increased from 2.0 (2015) to 2.1 (2018), 3.4 (2019), 3.6 (2021), and 15.3 (2022).

AI Tool Predicts Five-Year Breast Cancer Risk from Mammograms

Breast cancer risk assessment during routine screening is difficult because many women who develop the disease have no known genetic mutations or family history. Static risk tools provide limited discrimination... Read more

AI Mammography Tools Detect Early Breast Cancer Signs Years Before Diagnosis

Breast cancer screening aims to detect tumors before symptoms develop, but subtle mammographic changes can appear years before diagnosis and may be missed during routine reads. Delayed detection can lead... Read more

$Image: Kyushu University researchers use Dynamic Chest Radiography (DCR) to evaluate the severity of Pulmonary Regurgitation (PR), a common complication after treatment of the congenital heart disease Tetralogy of Fallot. The analysis only requires the patient to hold their breath for seven seconds for a sequence of images of their heart to be taken. The images are then analyzed and extracted into a waveform that can show the severity of PR. The new technique\\\'s detection accuracy of severe PR is 93%, with a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 94%. (Photo courtesty of Kyushu University/Yuzo Yamasaki)$
