subject: Kodak POC's Versatility [print this page] The Kodak POC, or Point of Care, offers the busy physician what they need to capture and view computed radiography images in a small clinic or mobile environment. Even the smallest Kodak POC system, the Point of Care 120, offers a variety of useful features so that it will provide you with superior digital medical images at home or abroad.
These portable xray machines from Kodak will function on either a wheeled cart or on a desk or tabletop. This gives you a great deal of flexibility in how it is used, because it can be rolled into a variety of areas, such as sports arenas, forensics labs, cruise ships, nursing homes and other venues where digital xrays are needed. Digital medical images can be taken whether the patient is standing, lying down or sitting for ease of use.
As a Dicom Viewer, the POC system allows for the optimal viewing of digital medical images. The digital images that you take can be printed or archived onto CDs or DVDs as well. The digital images themselves, powered by Omnivue chiropractic or general viewing software as well as Kodak image processing software, can be enhanced with the Dicom Viewer, made larger, reproduced and sent off to other locations on your network. A laptop computer can be used out in the field when the system is used as a mobile unit, but the unit also comes with a nineteen-inch, 1.3 MP resolution monitor. Digital medical images taken with the system can be archived with the Patient CD burner for convenience.
The system allows for speedy previews as well. You can have an image preview in as little as sixty-three seconds.
These Kodak units come with two different sized image capture cassettes with plates. These include the ten by twelve inch and the fourteen by seventeen inch sizes. The system runs on Omnivue acquisition software.
Kodak, as a maker of portable xray machines, also offers the Point of Care 140 and Point of Care 360 in addition to the Point of Care 120. Both the 140 and 360 systems were designed for use by orthopedists, podiatrists, chiropractors and others in specialty practices. The 120 system offers throughput of twenty plates per hour, the 140 system at 40 plates per hour and the 360 system at over 60 plates per hour. All of these CR systems are best for small and mid-sized medical facilities that need an affordable and versatile digital imaging option for low volume imaging situations.
