The benefits of the FilmStation™ Dry Film Imager can be explained in very little space...

...and in less than a minute.

Introducing the Sony FilmStation Dry Film Imager.
It STANDS UP to the competition in more ways than one.

The Sony FilmStation Dry Film Imager is the only imager of its kind to give you an installation choice of horizontal or vertical.  Thanks to its compact size and vertical adaptability, this imager can be easily integrated into any radiology environment particularly where space is at a premium.  In fact the FilmStation unit is so compact that it can be placed on a desktop in a traditional X-ray viewing room or in an empty slot beneath a doctor’s desk.  With its flexible installation capability, casters for seamless mobility, easy-to-read LCD front panel, and simple-to-load film, the FilmStation imager stands up to the competition in more ways than one.

Reliable Diagnostic Image Quality

Flexible design is only one of the enhanced features of the FilmStation printer.  As a result of high-resolution 320dpi thermal head technology, FilmStation images are excellent in quality. 4,096 shades of gray contribute to the accuracy of every diagnosis, and a maximum density (D-Max) rating of greater than 3.2 produces outstanding contrast ratio and exceptional black levels.  An automatic calibration feature delivers consistent image quality.  Manual access to full calibration functions via the front panel controls adds user flexibility.  These innovative features, plus a combination of default-fixed and user-programmable gamma settings, provide precise, diagnostic image output.

Dry Film Technology with High-Speed Results

Compact size and superior image quality do not compromise print speed.  One FilmStation imager can output a film in less than one minute.  And to increase throughput, two FilmStation imagers can be connected with a simple FilmStation link cable to output up to 130 films per hour – an expeditious,
time-saving feature that’s invaluable in a busy CT or MRI control center.

A Winning Combination of Features

• By combining a newly developed print head with Sony’s new blue thermal film (model UPT-517BL), the FilmStation unit offers an elevated level of image quality that was virtually impossible to achieve on a thermal printer – until now.
   

• Sony-engineered UPT-517BL thermal film media was specifically designed for use with the FilmStation printer.  This newly formulized 14”x17” film maintains a careful balance of transparency and density to reproduce precise and stable diagnostic images.  And with edge-to-edge printing, the FilmStation imager maximizes the entire film surface for the most complete image coverage.
   

• An added feature called full-time head protection positions the FilmStation imager’s print head in a park mode when idle, a feature that is ideal for mobile applications.

The Finishing Touch: Built-in Dicom Compatibility

The FilmStation imager was designed with a built-in Dicom 3.0 interface that can be accessed using a Windows® Laptop with an internet browser, making installation fast and simple.  This interface also features an e-mail notification system that can automatically send out an e-mail when the FilmStation unit has a technical problem.
