VIDAR^® DiagnosticPRO™ Advantage Film Digitizer

VIDAR's DiagnosticPRO film digitizer has been the market-leading digitizer for picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), teleradiology, and general radiography, serving solutions providers and end-users well since its introduction five years ago.
VIDAR's singular dedication to meeting customers' ever-changing needs has allowed the company to pioneer a series of product innovations that have dramatically changed the field of film digitization.
The company again has raised the bar with its Advantage product platform - evolved from the company’s pioneering high-defnition CCD (HD-CCD®) and hallmark "plus" digitizer technologies.
VIDAR's next-generation Advantage digitizers features several key benefits, including superior image quality, increased speed, and exceptional consistency and repeatability. A number at patents have been filed based on these technological innovations, which have set a new standard in medical film digitizer performance.
VIDAR's Advantage product platform is the culmination at 14 years of product innovation by VIDAR Systems Corporation - the worldwide market leader in medical film digitizers.

For PACS and general radiology, the watchwords are image quality, speed, and consistency - all of which have been taken to new heights with VIDAR's DiagnosticPRO Advantage digitizer.
The superior optical density range (0-4.00) and image resolution (44 micron) of the DiagnosticPRO Advantage exceed the American College of Radiology practice guidelines for PACS and remote primary diagnosis.
The DiagnosticPRO Advantage digitizes films two times faster than pievious models and can handle mixed-sized films, allowing for more productivity and greater efficiency - key benefits for radiology department personnel. Improved productivity also translates into greater revenues for radiology centers and departments.
VIDAR's ADC™ (Automatic Digitizer Calibration) and the enhanced technology of the Advantage product platform ensure the highest level of consistency and repeatability in every image digitized.
The DiagnosticPRO Advantage requires virtually no routine maintenance and no daily cleaning. VIDAR's digitizers also achieve a mean time between failure of >=50,000 hours - the equivalent of nearly six years. For busy radiology departments, this highly reliable, maintenance-free performance translates into greater up-time, improved productivity, reduced operating costs, and increased revenue for users.

VIDAR's commitment to clinical studies to validate the performance of its digitizers is unique in the industry. The company has supported several landmark studies at leading institutions such as Johns Hopkins University and the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology. These studies have consistently demonstrated that there is no difference in image quality and the ability of radiologists to make correct diagnoses between radiographs digitized on VIDAR's digitizers and laser systems.
In keeping with this tradition, VIDAR has integrated the Advantage product platform into an ongoing study at Johns Hopkins University and this study will be expanded to include additional clinical sites.
