12-bit Film Digitizer is Third-Generation Design of Outstanding Performance
and Reliability.

February 15, 1994 -- Herndon, VA: Vidar Systems Corporation announces the
introduction of the VXR-12, the first 12-bit digitizer for medical films
at an affordable price.

Designed for easy integration into any host computer system, the VXR-12 is
a rugged third-generation design intended for continuous use in the most
demanding applications. The 12-bit grayscale imaging system captures the
subtle variations in contrast and the finest detail in any medical X-ray,
CI, or MRI film, including those with optical densities ranging from zero
to 3.0 or more. 12-bit grayscale imaging captures even the subtlest
variations in contrast. The VXR-12 accepts all standard film sizes.

The VXR-12 outputs 12-bit data in two ways: unprocessed, or mapped by
built-in translation tables, giving the user a choice of six image
enhancement modes. These translation tables minimize the need for
post-processing of the image.

The VXR-12 handles films from 5 to 14 inches wide, with no length
limitation, and offers a choice of four spatial resolutions ranging from
1k x 1k (423 um spot) to 4k x 4k (85 um spot). The VXR-12 is easy to use,
with automatic film size detection, preset aperture and focus, and a
reversible film transport that allows multiple scans of a single film
without operator intervention. Fast throughput increases productivity--a
full 14" x 17" chest x-ray, with a resolution of 1k x 1k, scans in less
than 15 seconds. The VXR-12 lists for $15,995.

Vidar has been at the forefront of image scanning technology since 1985,
when we introduced our first large format scanner for engineering and
architectural drawings. As a leader in the medical imaging field since
1988, Vidar has exhibited in the past five RSNA shows.
