A Sony
FilmStation system
takes up less space
than other film
imagers making your
integration easier.
The Sony FilmStation
Dry Film Imager is
the only imager of
its kind to give you
an installation
choice of horizontal
or vertical. Thanks
to its compact size
and vertical
adaptability, this
imager can be easily
integrated into any
radiology
environment
particularly where
space is at a
premium. In fact the
FilmStation unit is
so compact that it
can be placed on a
desktop in a
traditional X-ray
viewing room or in
an empty slot
beneath a doctor's
desk. With its
flexible
installation
capability, seamless
mobility,
easy-to-read LCD
front panel, and
simple-to-load film,
the FilmStation
imager stands up to
the competition in
more ways than one.
Reliable Diagnostic
Image Quality
Flexible design is
only one of the
enhanced features of
the FilmStation
printer. As a result
of high-resolution
320dpi thermal head
technology,
FilmStation images
are excellent in
quality. 4,096
shades of gray
contribute to the
accuracy of every
diagnosis, and a
maximum density
(D-Max) rating of
greater than 3.2
produces outstanding
contrast ratio and
exceptional black
levels. An automatic
calibration feature
delivers consistent
image quality.
Manual access to
full calibration
functions via the
front panel controls
adds user
flexibility. These
innovative features,
plus a combination
of default-fixed and
user-programmable
gamma settings,
provide precise,
diagnostic image
output.
A Winning
Combination of
Features
By combining a newly
developed print head
with Sony's new blue
thermal film (model
UPT-517BL), the
FilmStation unit
offers an elevated
level of image
quality that was
virtually impossible
to achieve on a
thermal printer –
until now.
Sony-engineered
UPT-517BL thermal
film media was
specifically
designed for use
with the FilmStation
printer. This newly
formulized 14"x17"
film maintains a
careful balance of
transparency and
density to reproduce
precise and stable
diagnostic images.
And with
edge-to-edge
printing, the
FilmStation imager
maximizes the entire
film surface for the
most complete image
coverage. An added
feature called
full-time head
protection positions
the FilmStation
imager's print head
in a park mode when
idle, a feature that
is ideal for mobile
applications.
PLUS - FilmStation
can hold up to 1,112
Images with it's 7
gigabyte HD for
image spooling
( 1,112 films of 12 up (512x512) 667 films of 20 Up (512x512)).
The Finishing
Touch: Built-in
Dicom Compatibility
The FilmStation
imager was designed
with a built-in
Dicom 3.0 interface
that can be accessed
using a Windows™
Laptop with an
internet browser,
making installation
fast and simple.
This interface also
features an e-mail
notification system
that can
automatically send
out an e-mail when
the FilmStation unit
has a technical
problem.
Sony FilmStation is
available from
medical imaging
equipment
manufacturers such
as General Electric,
Siemens, Philips,
Hitachi, Fonar,
Toshiba and Stryker
and from authorized
Sony FilmStation
Resellers.
