INSIGHT Thoracic Imaging Film

INSIGHT thoracic imaging system
Standard contrast: 

• INSIGHT thoracic imaging film
• INSIGHT thoracic imaging screens
• X-OMAT cassette
• Speed: 250 / mid-lung contrast: 1.40 / mediastinal contrast: 0.7

With the widest latitude, this system provides lower lung-field contrast and higher mediastinal contrast. This standard level of contrast may be preferred by radiologists accustomed to reading chest images with a very long grayscale.

High lung-field contrast:

• INSIGHT thoracic imaging film
• INSIGHT HC thoracic imaging screens
• X-OMAT cassette
• Speed: 335 / mid-lung contrast: 2.00 / mediastinal contrast: 0.5

This system provides higher lung-field and lower mediastinal contrast than the standard-contrast system described above. Overall system contrast is closest to the look of most conventional thoracic imaging systems.

Film storage

Store unopened boxes in a cool, dry place (50–75°F/10–23°C; 30–50% relative humidity) shielded from x-rays and other penetrating radiation.

Safelighting

Use safelight filter type GBX-2 or equivalent located at least 4 ft/1.2 m from the film.

Recommended processing

For best results, process film in X-OMAT and X-OMAT EX II chemicals
