More Information About Digital Medical Printing Film
What is the Composition of Digital Medical Printing Film
Medical film is primarily composed of a base material (support) and imaging layers:
· Base Material: Typically polyester (PET) film, characterized by high mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and excellent light transmission; however, film used in specific fields like ultrasound may utilize a paper base.
· Coatings: These include imaging layers—such as photosensitive emulsion (e.g., silver halide for traditional silver-salt film), thermal coatings (for thermal film), or ink-absorbing/photosensitive coatings (for printable film)—as well as auxiliary layers like protective coatings and anti-halation layers.
Common Classifications of Digital Medical Printing Film
Medical films are primarily categorized based on two dimensions: the imaging equipment used and the output device (or imaging principle). The specific classifications are as follows:
I. Classification by Imaging Equipment (Examination Equipment)
1. X-ray film (including blue-sensitive, green-sensitive films, etc.): Used to record images from X-ray examinations; primarily used for visualizing bones, air, and contrast media.
2. CT film: Used to record images from Computed Tomography (CT) scans; provides high-contrast tomographic images; suitable for CT scanners.
3. MRI film: Used to record images from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI); clearly displays internal soft tissue structures; suitable for MRI scanners.
4. Ultrasound film (B-mode ultrasound film): Used to record images from ultrasound examinations (color Doppler, B-mode); has relatively lower requirements for print precision; suitable for ultrasound machines.
5. Endoscopy film: Used to record image-and-text reports from endoscopic examinations; suitable for endoscopic equipment.
II. Classification by Output Device (Imaging Principle)
1. Laser/Dry laser film: Used with laser imaging equipment (e.g., CT, MRI, DR, CR); imaging is achieved via infrared laser scanning exposure; a chemical imaging process offering high quality; suitable for diagnostic-grade image recording.
2. Thermal film: Used with thermal imaging equipment; imaging is achieved through heating by a thermal print head; offers clear images and fast output; suitable for image recording in radiology departments (CT, MRI, DR, etc.).
3. Medical printing film (inkjet/laser printing film): Used with inkjet or laser printing equipment (e.g., ultrasound printers, image-and-text printers); imaging is achieved through the adhesion of ink or toner; a halftone printing process with lower grayscale resolution; primarily suitable for recording images with text or printing reports (e.g., ultrasound); some low-precision prints are not suitable for diagnostic-grade imaging.
Note: In clinical practice, different medical devices have varying requirements regarding film image quality and media type; for instance, high-end imaging equipment such as CT and MRI scanners typically utilize laser or thermal films, whereas ultrasound equipment often employs printing films.
