Images are processed using Image Processing EVP Plus Algorithms -the same technology used across all Carestream CR and DR systems! Optimized into six pre-configured positions - you to get the desired image look with minimal effort.

This system default provides a low noise, smooth image and is suitable for all body parts.

This highest contrast look is appropriate for all body parts.

Has higher contrast than a standard look but is still suitable for all body parts.

This look is suitable for images needing wider latitude such as abdomen, spine and chest.

This high contrast look provides narrow latitude for extremity imaging.

The image contrast, latitude and sharpness remain fixed (like film), but brightness is adjusted to correct for under and over exposed images.

Consistent results = Fewer retakes = Greater efficiency

Powerful technology drives quality images. Here are some of the advanced features of the Vita CR that will help your facility generate outstanding digital images

• 16 bit A/D linear data captured at the Vita CR (compared to some CRs that capture at only 10 or 12 bit) - provides the user with the most digital data to process and view.

• High signal to noise ratio producing great flat field uniformity and low noise.

• Wide Exposure Range (0.01 – 40mR) allowing you to capture a wider range of exposures without saturation.

• Low phosphor screen noise and high resolution capabilities result in outstanding digital images.
