Technically Superior Solution for Capturing, Communicating Image Data For NDT Engineers BRENTWOOD, NH, September 22, 2003 …. The best possible density range classifications achievable for a laser film digitizer were attained by the new Array 2905 HD (from Array Corporation USA, Brentwood, N.H.) in a recent test by the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing of Berlin, Germany. NDT engineers demanding the highest image quality can view the report - which hails the Array 2905 as "an impressive step forward compared with other scanners" and rates it as superior to the Lumisys LS85SDR - at http://www.arrayusa.com/BAMNDTEvaluation.htm. The Institute's evaluation marks the first time a scanner was tested for the full density range (0…4.5 OD). For density range 0-4.0, the Array 2905 attained Class DB9, and for density range 0-4.7, it attained Class DS9, both the best that can be achieved in these categories. (The classifications are cited in the EN 14096-2 standard for laser film digitizers.) But superior image quality and optical density ranges are, in the overall picture, only stand-alone features that add to the total package, which is productivity, admits Tom Nardozzi, president of Array Corporation USA. Quick scan time is also key to productivity (the 2905 can scan to 2K resolution in 7 seconds, while the Kodak/Lumisys L85 takes more than 4.0x longer), as is a digitizer's ability to accommodate different film lengths (the 2905 scans 14x17 film at 50 micrometer pixel spacing, unlike most models, including the Kodak/Lumisys LS75.) Autofeeding also supports productivity: the 2905 can accommodate up to 100 films loaded at once. Productivity is further enhanced with a variable sampling pitch (the Array 2905 changes spot size from 50 microns to 500 microns in one micron steps) to cover all possible uses for film digitization; Almost all other digitizer companies must sell several models for different needs/applications. More efficient image distribution and retrieval are attained with user selectable scan options and easy integration with popular viewing and archival software, as provided by the 2905. "Continuous product improvements help us raise the bar for technical excellence, and have positioned us as the leading source for the most productive and highest quality film digitizers available," states Nardozzi. Array's 2905 Laser Film Digitizer is built with an all-steel chassis and sturdy metal housing, not low-cost, lightweight plastic. In addition, the 2905 is fifth generation technology from a company (parent Array Corporation of Tokyo) that wields four decades of proven excellence in medical and scientific/industrial image processing solutions. Since its establishment in the U.S. in 1998, Array Corporation USA has cultivated a broad, nationwide network of validated vendors, authorized sales and service distributorships and direct end user clients. The company provides technically superior solutions for capturing and communicating image data for non-destructive test engineering and medical applications. In addition to the Array 2905 Laser Film Digitizer, Array Corporation USA also markets the DICOM Pro series of legacy modality gateways and print servers, and other DICOM-conformant PACS and peripheral imaging products.
