The 3M™ DryView™ 8700 Laser Imager from Imation™ produces high-resolution medical images without the wet chemistry and plumbing requirements of traditional wet laser imagers. By eliminating wet chemistry and its associated purchase, handling, storage, maintenance and waste disposal costs, the Imation™ DryView™ 8700 Laser Imager lowers your radiology department's capital and operating costs. The lack of chemistry and the system's small footprint also give you the flexibility to site the laser imager where it will improve staff productivity and patient care. This reliable, high-throughput, easy-to-use system delivers true diagnostic-quality films for CT, MRI, DSA, ultrasound and nuclear medicine applications that require 14" x 17" film. For diagnosis, it comes in various configurations based on applications.

Benefits

Reduced Capital Costs:

The DryView 8700 Laser Imager's purchase price is lower than even the most affordable wet chemistry systems. The system also eliminates the expense of modifying your facility for dedicated plumbing, and the need for a separate wet film processor.

Reduced Operating Costs:

By eliminating the chemical and the high service charges linked to wet film processors, the system lowers your operating costs. You don't need to pay for chemical waste disposal to meet environmental standards. The costs to support a wet chemistry processor infrastructure also disappear.

Reduced Environmental Impact:

The DryView 8700 Laser Imager's dry imaging process eliminates wet chemistry and its associated film processors, darkrooms and special plumbing. The system also negates the expense and disposal of wet chemistry. Nothing goes down the drain.

Siting Flexibility:

The compact DryView 8700 Laser Imager saves floor space, and frees you to locate them wherever images are needed instead of to a centralized radiology department as required with wet chemistry systems.

Improved Productivity:

Since you can locate the DryView 8700 Laser Imager right next to a modality, your staff doesn't have to walk long distances to retrieve film. They can increase the number of images generated, and/or spend more time giving patients better care. The system can pump out 120 images an hour on the preferred 14" x 17" format.

Image Quality and Consistency:

The DryView 8700 Laser Imager provides images equal in diagnostic quality to those from today's premium wet laser imagers. The system's Automatic Imaging Quality Control (AIQC) System ensures consistency of image, and virtually eliminates the time your staff spends to daily calibrate a wet laser imager.

Connectivity and Upgradability:

Since it is DICOM compatible, the DryView 8700 Laser Imager can be connected to virtually any of your electronic imaging modalities. It can be upgraded along with your radiology department, as it features single and double-input models, as well as the 3M™ DryView™ DryView 8800 Multi-Input Manager from Imation™.
