Records Management Systems has entered the Radiology Industry with a Bang. We have partnered with vendors such as, Konica/Minolta’s Medical Imaging Division, Codonics Image printers and iCRco Computed Radiography products. All of these associations make the team of Records Management Systems valuable to our customers as a source of cost containment and streamline procedures of Information Management. We can recommend PACS Software Systems for small orthopedic offices to large Hospitals, Records Management Systems has the perfect solutions to these increasing expenses.
About Computed Radiography
 Rather than using film, computed radiography (CR) uses an imaging plate. This plate contains photostimulable storage phosphors, which retain the latent image. When the imaging plate is scanned with a laser beam in the digitizer, the latent image information is released as visible light. This light is captured and converted into a digital stream to compute the digital image.
A CR reader scans the plate by means of a laser beam. The laser energy releases the trapped electrons, causing visible light to be emitted. This light is captured and converted into a digital bit stream that encodes the digital image.
Benefits
Less Retakes
The storage phosphors on the Digital Imaging Plate have an extremely wide dynamic range. This gives a high tolerance for varying exposure conditions and a greater freedom in the selection of the exposure dose. As a consequence, the need for retakes is drastically reduced.
Dose Reduction
The wide exposure latitude of the Digital Imaging Plates allows, in many cases, the visualization of all diagnostic information with only one exposure. In this way, the use of Digital Imaging Plates results in a substantial reduction of the dose load when performing multiple exposures.
Long Lifetime
Digital Imaging Plates are protected by an EBC (electron-beam-cured) topcoat, a technology for hardening a prepolymer lacquer coat into a high-density polymer on top of the phosphor layer. This results in plates with superb protection from mechanical wear and extensive immunity to chemical cleaning solutions. Superior durability of the Digital Imaging Plate is thus secured.
High Image Sharpness
The chemical composition of the Image Plate phosphor material ensures optimum performance. The material has high absorption efficiency, excellent homogeneity and short response time to ensure high sharpness and the EBC top coating technology provides a smoother plate surface giving reduced granularity noise.
