EastmanKodak开发出X线放射系统升级工具包

一种放射肿瘤学光束放射测量得到了升级，使得临床医生现在能够操纵范围更加广泛的光束和密度调制放射治疗（IMRT）QA程序，包括对入口进行定位、证实以及接受放射治疗患者的同步成像。

这种新型工具包，是由Eastman Kodak公司研制开发的，将配备在Kodak2000RT CR（计算机控制的X线放射检查仪）增强系统，这是专门位放射肿瘤学专家设计的。在进行升级之后，这套系统具有医学数字成像和和通讯（DICOM） RT支持功能，能够与肿瘤学成像控制系统进行平滑的资料传送与交换，与其它DICOM兼容计划系统和影响模块很容易地进行通信。这套系统还能够输入治疗计划系统动力范围缩减（DRR）影像，只需要与端口影像进行同步对比即可。

远程注释允许肿瘤学家在远程工作站上进行评论，并将修改过地影像储存在数据库肿。影像不能被拷贝，因为注释功能只能在“锁定 ”状态下使用。强大的搜索功能，允许在没有自己影像控制系统的地方，很容易的创建工作列表来增加工作效率，
 
Computed Radiography System Upgrade
 
A radiation oncology beam dosimetry upgrade will now allow clinicians to perform a wide range of beam and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) QA procedures including the ability to capture portal localization, verification, and simulation images required for radiation therapy patients.

The new package, developed by Eastman Kodak Co. (Rochester, NY, USA), will equip the Kodak 2000RT CR (computed radiography) Plus system, which was designed specifically for radiation oncology specialists. With its new upgrade, the system features digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) RT Support, which allows the smooth transfer and exchange of data with oncology image management systems and facilitates communication with other DICOM-compatible planning systems and imaging modalities. The system also has the ability to import treatment planning system dynamic range reduction (DRR) images for easy side-by-side comparison with port images.

Remote annotation allows oncologists to make comments at a remote workstation and save modified images to the database. Images cannot be copied because annotations can only be made in the “locked” mode. Powerful search capabilities facilitate the creation of a work list to improve productivity at sites that do not have their own image management system.
