Film digitizer manufacturer Howtek has released a new flagship x-ray film digitizer based on charge-coupled device (CCD) technology. Called 960, the digitizer is equipped with an auto-feed mechanism that permits entire studies of up to eight films to be digitized at one time, according to the Hudson, NH-based company.

Priced at $21,500, 960 can accommodate film sizes ranging from 14 x 17 to 8 x 10 inches with the use of a built-in, adjustable sheet feeder. The digitizer offers a scan rate of 125 lines per second. It also includes a useable dynamic range of 3.6 OD and a 43.5-micron spot size at 8K across the full 14-inch image width to provide clarity in gray response and spatial accuracy, according to the company. The resolving power is 11.5 line pair/mm.

In related Howtek news, the price of the company's previous flagship offering, Scanmaster DX, has been reduced to $15,900.
