The objective of the 860 is to capture full film fidelity. At 3.85 OD and up to 8K resolution, it can capture the full gray range and up to 11.5 lp/mm resolution. The variable resolution means that the 860 can do it all – from fast quick wet reads at low resolution to full diagnostic detailed images at high resolution.
The 860 is being used today in Orthopedic Clinics, Remote Sites, and as the image capture stations for Computer Aided Detection (CAD). The ability to handle film sizes from very small 5x5” (12.7 x 12.7 cm) to 14x40” (35 1 x 101 2/3 cm) at full resolution makes the 860 a favorite of orthopedic facilities. The extreme range on resolution brings true images at higher magnification on PACs viewing stations, making interpretation of fine line fractures, and skews possible.
For Remote Sites where no physician is present, the 860 represents that ability to communicate the full fidelity image to physicians that might be located hundreds of miles away. When a courier isn’t available, the 860 is the sole link and it meets the challenge. |
