VIDAR FILM DIGITIZERS NOW OFFERED WITH DR SYSTEMS’ PACS AND ADVANCED IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEMS

Herndon, VA — VIDAR Systems Corporation, the leader in medical film digitizer technology, today announced that DR Systems has chosen its DiagnosticPRO™ plus and SIERRA™ plus film digitizers for use in DR Systems’ filmless computerized medical image and information management systems. DR Systems is the leading independent provider of filmless computerized medical image and information management systems for hospitals, imaging centers, and integrated health care systems.

DR System’s president, Richard Porritt, commented, “Our customers more and more often have need for a reliable, high quality film digitizer solution. We turned to VIDAR to respond to that need because VIDAR film digitizers provide our customers with outstanding customer satisfaction due to the products’ high reliability; and also provides them with a high quality, clinically proven solution, and an alternative to more expensive laser digitizers.”

Brian Beardslee, vice president of VIDAR’s Medical Business, said, “VIDAR is very pleased about this new partnership with DR Systems. VIDAR works relentlessly to provide the most reliable and high quality film digitizers on the market. Our products offer superior image quality, reliability, durability, and virtually maintenance-free operation. We are pleased that DR Systems turned to VIDAR to be their partner for digitizing solutions.”

VIDAR’s DiagnosticPRO plus and SIERRA plus digitizers feature the latest version of VIDAR’s proprietary High Definition CCD (HD-CCD®) technology and Automatic Digitizer Calibration (ADC™) feature, resulting in images that exceed the American College of Radiology practice guidelines for picture archiving and communication systems and remote primary diagnosis. The vertical footprints of VIDAR’s digitizers save nearly 50 percent of the space required by tabletop digitizers, and VIDAR’s SIERRA even offers the flexibility to be wall mounted, if desired. The design of VIDAR’s digitizers eliminates film jams and saves thousands of dollars each year in scanner calibration costs.
