VIDAR High-Quality Medical X-Ray Film Digitizer Products

VIDAR's Diagnostic PRO Advantage film digitizer has achieved the highest reliability, image quality, consistency, and best overall productivity of any digitizer on the market. In addition to typical PACS applications, the DiagnosticPRO Advantage offers flexibility — it can be used in facilities which will now or in the future support digitization of mammography priors. If you have a file room supporting PACS and low-volume mammography applications, the 44 micron spot size and 4.0 OD DiagnosticPRO Advantage will be key in the digital transition.

With a MTBF of more than 50,000 hours, excellent image quality, exceptional consistency, and increased speed, the DiagnosticPRO Advantage provides customers with increased "up-time," resulting in improved productivity and revenues. In addition to a higher level of image quality and more consistency, the DiagnosticPRO Advantage has been designed for increased speed. It digitizes films two times faster than previous models and will digitize up to 25 mixed-sized films in batch mode, increasing productivity and improving efficiency — key benefits for radiology department personnel.

The CAD PRO Advantage film digitizer was specifically designed for mammography CAD. CAD systems incorporate advanced pattern recognition and image analysis, requiring a film digitizer that meets the highest standards of image quality and reliability. These advanced systems enable radiologists to improve their ability to detect early stage cancers in an efficient manner.

By meeting these rigorous requirements, CAD PRO Advantage is an ideal fit for mammography facilities transitioning to digital technology. It provides the ability to quickly digitize film-based prior studies and, when coupled with the appropriate software, uses the DICOM MG standard to identify the specific mammography view contained on each film. Prior studies are correctly displayed on the mammography reporting workstation alongside the newly acquired digital mammography study.

The CAD PRO Advantage offers a modular 50-sheet film feeder. The advanced design of VIDAR's SmartFeeder eliminates film jams, double feeds, and film pick-up problems that occur with other digitizers. Most importantly, the CAD PRO Advantage feeder is designed for continuous case loading. This feature allows the user to add cases without interrupting the digitizing process. In addition, the CAD PRO Advantage is able to digitize a four-film case in less than 120 seconds — twice the speed of most other digitizers on the market. (More Product Info)
