Diagnostic Pro Advantage |
| |
 The
DiagnosticPRO Advantage for PACS, teleradiology,
and orthopedic surgery offers the powerful
combination of exceptional image quality,
speed, and superior consistency. The workhorse
of the VIDAR product line, the DiagnosticPRO
Advantage digitizes film two times faster
than previous models and can handle mixed-size
films, allowing for more productivity and
greater efficiency. |
| |
| Introduction |
 |
VIDAR’s DiagnosticPRO
film digitizer has been the market-leading
digitizer for picture archiving and
communication systems (PACS), teleradiology,
and general radiography, serving solutions
providers and end-users well since its
introduction four years ago. |
|
VIDAR’s singular
dedication to meeting customers’
ever-changing needs has allowed the
company to pioneer a series of product
innovations that have dramatically changed
the field of film digitization. |
|
The company again
has raised the bar with the introduction
of its new Advantage product platform,
introduced at the 2003 meeting of the
Radiological Society of North America,
which has evolved from the company’s
pioneering high-definition CCD (HD-CCD®)
and hallmark “plus” digitizer
technologies. |
|
VIDAR’s next-generation
Advantage digitizers feature several
key benefits, including superior image
quality, increased speed, and exceptional
consistency and repeatability. A number
of patents have been filed based on
these technological innovations, which
have set a new standard in medical film
digitizer performance. |
|
VIDAR’s Advantage
product platform is the culmination
of 10 years of product innovation by
VIDAR Systems Corporation — the
worldwide market leader in medical film
digitizers. |
|
| |
| DiagnosticPRO Advantage
— Image Quality, Speed & Consistency |
|
For PACS and general
radiology, the watchwords are image
quality, speed, and consistency —
all of which have been taken to new
heights with VIDAR’s DiagnosticPRO
Advantage digitizer. |
|
The superior optical
density range (0–4.00) and image
resolution (44 micron) of the DiagnosticPRO
Advantage exceed the American College
of Radiology practice guidelines for
PACS and remote primary diagnosis. |
|
The DiagnosticPRO
Advantage digitizes films two times
faster than previous models and can
handle mixed-sized films, allowing for
more productivity and greater efficiency
— key benefits for radiology department
personnel. Improved productivity also
translates into greater revenues for
radiology centers and departments. |
|
VIDAR’s ADC™
(Automatic Digitizer Calibration) and
the enhanced technology of the Advantage
product platform ensure the highest
level of consistency and repeatability
in every image digitized. |
|
The DiagnosticPRO
Advantage requires virtually no routine
maintenance and no daily cleaning. VIDAR’s
digitizers also achieve a mean time
between failure of =50,000 hours —
the equivalent of nearly six years.
For busy radiology departments, this
highly reliable, maintenance-free performance
translates into greater up-time, improved
productivity, reduced operating costs,
and increased revenue for users. |

| The Vidar Advantage |
VIDAR® Systems Corporation
— the recognized leader in film digitizing
technology — offers the VIDAR DiagnosticPRO™
Advantage Film Digitizer. VIDAR again has
raised the bar with its new Advantage product
platform by achieving better overall performance
than any other digitizer on the market.
VIDAR’s DiagnosticPRO Advantage film
digitizer has achieved the highest reliability,
image quality, consistency, and best overall
productivity than any other digitizer on the
market.
Technology Advantage
and Innovation
The next generation DiagnosticPRO Advantage
has a number of technological advances that
will provide customers with increased “up-time”,
resulting in improved productivity and revenues.
Higher speed, image quality, and reliability
are just some of the new features of the DiagnosticPRO
Advantage. With a Mean Time Between Failure
(MTBF) rate of >50,000 hours, a modular
film feeder, and a field replaceable illuminator
system (Instant-On VIDAR Hot Light™),
these technical advances have resulted in
the highest reliability of any digitizer on
the market. A number of patents have been
filed based on these technical innovations
that have set a new standard in medical film
digitizer performance.
In addition to a higher level of image quality
and more consistency, the DiagnosticPRO Advantage
has been designed for increased speed. It
digitizes film two times faster than previous
models and will digitize up to 25 mixed-sized
films in batch mode, allowing more productivity
and greater efficiency — key benefits
for radiology department personnel. The DiagnosticPRO
Advantage features the company’s proprietary
High Definition CCD
(HD-CCD®) technology, and incorporates
a substantially more sophisticated HD-CCD
array and digital electronics design. Also,
the unique ADC™ (Automatic Digitizer
Calibration) that prompts the film digitizer
to calibrate automatically before every film
digitized, and eliminates the need for user
intervention for this operation. VIDAR’s
ADC feature results in virtually no variation
in image quality and ensures excellent grayscale
reproduction in every image.
The DiagnosticPRO Advantage, with its high-resolution
capabilities (44.5 microns), provides the
ability to digitize mammography films, and
offers larger spot size options for digitizing
general radiographic, CT, MR, ultrasound,
and nuclear medicine films. The DiagnosticPRO
Advantage exceeds the American College of
Radiology Teleradiology Practice Guidelines.
In addition, VIDAR offers the only 32-bit
data path in the industry to maximize grayscale
accuracy and performance.
Exceptional
Consistency — Proven Reliability
Unlike other digitizers that require biannual
calibration or cleaning, VIDAR digitizers
need no maintenance or calibration, saving
nearly $2,000 annually. The straight-line
film path reduces the need for costly service
calls due to film jams, and VIDAR digitizers
have a MTBF of more than five years.
The company’s sole focus is on serving
its customers, and a premier customer service
department supports VIDAR digitizers. VIDAR
works hard at customer satisfaction, and customers
have responded enthusiastically, giving VIDAR
the highest customer satisfaction rating in
the industry. |
