Sony FilmStation Imager 
Sony Medical (Booth 4229) is debuting its work-in-progress FilmStation Mammography Film Imager, model UP-DF750. With a high-resolution thermal printing system and specially engineered blue thermal high-density film, the new printer is optimized for full-field digital mammography applications and designed to help facilities meet Mammography Quality Standard Act (MQSA) regulations.

The imager yields high-resolution, detailed images in 606 dpi at an ultra-fast print time of 90 sheets per hour. In addition, the versatile UP-DF750 can stand upright conveniently alongside a PC under a desktop. The new FilmStation imager has convenient front-mounted controls, a built-in DICOM 3.0 interface and accepts film in multiple sizes.  Automatic calibration provides consistent image quality.
