Small and mid-sized medical facilities, mammo centers, radiology departments, imaging centers, dental and veterinary offices can benefit from a cost-effective Kodak CR system for acquiring digital medical images. The Kodak POC, or point of care, systems offer a range of options designed to retrofit your existing radiography equipment so that it functions the way you want.

Your medical office can save money by using a Kodak CR system for medical imaging. The Kodak Point of Care units use imaging plates instead of film. Those imaging plates are reusable, but film has to be replaced for each image taken; thus, due to the necessity of replenishing film and developing supplies, your medical facility will save money on supplies when you switch to a Kodak Point of Care CR System.

Another of the benefits that comes from using a Kodak CR system is that you will be able to have your medical images in a digital format. Once you have captured an image on the imaging plate, the system processes that image through a scanner, thereby creating a digital image. At this point, you have many options for viewing your image created with the Kodak POC. Digital images can be manipulated via the system software so that the image can be enhanced, zoom can be used, greater contrast and brightness and a host of other features in order to help you obtain better images for superior patient care at a reduced cost for your medical office.

The Kodak CR systems, including the KODAK CR 120, offer an excellent digital imaging choice for low-volume imaging. The Kodak CR units also come in the equally popular CR 140, CR 260 and CR 360 systems. The Kodak CR 360 and CR 140 units also are available with an optional mini-PACS system, allowing you to store, manage, distribute and view your digital images. The mini-PACS offers you a smaller yet effective solution for digital images at an affordable price.

The kodak point of care systems, including the KODAK CR 120 unit, are meant to be used for in-room digital imaging, as would be found in diagnostic imaging centers, orthopedic clinics, intensive care and pediatric departments as well emergency rooms. All of the Kodak Point of Care systems come with PC-based review stations. They are small in size, perfect for compact offices, and offer a system designed to capture high-quality x-ray images. Now you have a way to take great digital images and then store them on DVDs, CDs or print as you need.
