Nuclear Associates has introduced several calibrators designed for PACS and computed radiography applications. PACS Test Pattern, available in digital and film formats, allows users to detect, identify, and quantify changes in digital image quality. The film version identifies CCD and laser film digitizers quality control problems, such as light leakage and film slippage. The digital version of PACS Test Pattern can evaluate and calibrate monitors and testing printers, according to the Carle Place, NY, company. It is also available in custom versions and sizes.
The company has also unveiled EZ CR Test Tool, which allows evaluation of the entire CR image acquisition chain, according to the firm. It can be used to take regularly scheduled data points from the image, such as line pair resolution measurements, ROIs, and geometry symmetry, according to the company.
