Carestream DRYVIEW DVE Films – Premium Laser Imaging for Unmatched Clarity
Carestream DRYVIEW DVE Films are dry-process, high-performance laser imaging films that have been created to deliver diagnostic-quality radiographic output from Carestream (Kodak) DryView laser imagers. DRYVIEW DVE films use infrared-sensitive photo thermographic technology to remove wet chemistry, reducing environmental impact and simplifying imaging workflow.
They have a blue‑tinted 7 mil (≈175 µm) polyester base, which is optimized to produce cool blue‑black images with enhanced grayscale information. DRYVIEW DVE films are color‑tuned to the DryView systems and incorporate Automatic Image Quality Control (AIQC) to ensure film density and contrast levels consistent with or without the operator’s intervention.
In standard sizes—14×17\”, 14×14\”, 14×11\”, 10×12\”, and 8×10in;— DRYVIEW DVE films support a wide variety of diagnostic modalities, including CR, DR, CT, MRI, ultrasound, and angiography. Delivered as daylight-loadable 125-sheet cartridges, the films offer environmentally friendly, cost-effective handling and minimize film waste during loading.
Technical specifications and handling:
Resolution up to 508–650 ppi (model-dependent)
Shelf life: 30 months in unopened, 100+ years in archivable conditions under ISO
Storage (unopened): 4 °C–24 °C (39 °F–75 °F), 30%–50% RH; shield from radiation and chemicals
Handling processed film: store <25 °C, ≤50% RH in dark storage; avoid extended light exposure or high heat
Users report that they observe excellent image clarity and flat neutral tonal quality, with consistent performance run after run and long-term durability. DRYVIEW DVE films are excellent for general radiology but aren’t appropriate for uses involving mammography that require more Dmax—use DRYVIEW DVM+ when necessary for mammography.”
They are ideally suited to hospitals, imaging facilities, and radiology departments with high volume (160–250 films/hour) needs, low-maintenance operation, and archival stability, and Carestream DRYVIEW DVE films also offer cost savings and diagnostic confidence.
