Eastman Kodak was in the forefront of Medical Imaging. X-Ray film played a large role as a capture, viewing, storage, and archival medium. The barrier to entry for film was enormous, leading to high-profit margins for Kodak.
Processing of film involved chemicals and their management. Long-term archives were in film farms or local vaults in hospitals. Disposal of chemicals was not ecologically sustainable.
There was a necessity to replace film with modalities that had all the advantages of film without disrupting the workflow and protocols used by Radiologists and Technologists, as well as their productivity. This was a tall order and took decades to achieve
This talk focusses on two modalities: Computed Radiography, and Retrofittable digital radiography. The evolution in Digital Radiography has practically eliminated screen film Radiography, except for specialized procedures and has spawned a multi-billion dollar industry, world-wide.
This talk is about the field of Digital Radiography including Computed Radiography as well as retrofittable digital radiography, which as later commercialized by Carestream, that owns all the original Kodak IP, in medical imaging.
It is fitting on this Historic day, when the contributions of Kodak’s contribution to Digital Cameras is being recognized, that we talk about contributions of Kodak in digital radiography.
