Upon releasing its DryView 8900 laser imaging system with a new software upgrade in April, Eastman Kodak Co.'s Health Imaging Group said that numerous U.S. facilities have ordered the system.
   
The high-speed laser imager equipped with new software supports the printing of high-resolution digital mammography images from full-field digital mammography systems (FFDM) and other approved digital modalities (such as ultrasound and MRI) used for mammography.
   
With this upgrade, healthcare providers can print mammography images captured by FFDM systems from a range of vendors including GE Medical Systems, Siemens Medical Solutions, Hologic and Fischer Imaging, Kodak said. The 8900 imager can produce output from general medical imaging modalities as well.
