2. Kodak Min-R EV Film System One new film - Duplitized film used with a single screen The Min R-EV system consists of an asymmetric emulsion layer. The two emulsions allow the film to capture optimum image quality. The film is used with a single screen. The Min R-EV system consists of an asymmetric emulsion layer.

3. Kodak Min-R EV Film System The Min R EV system has two available speeds, 150 and 190, by a choice of two new screens. Therefore, we have one new film and two new screens.The Min R EV system has two available speeds, 150 and 190, by a choice of two new screens. Therefore, we have one new film and two new screens.

This table illustrates the increased contrast, which is average gradient, and the higher d-max of Min R-EV film when compared to Min R-2000.

5. Kodak Min-R EV Film System Min R-EV film has novel emulsion grains to achieve high contrast with a sharper toe. The high contrast makes the breast anatomy, including abnormalities such as micro-calcifications more visible. This maximizes the visualization of every part of the breast. The emulsion maintains high contrast at higher optical densities. Faster screens enable the same system speeds as Min R-2000 and Min R-2190.Min R-EV film has novel emulsion grains to achieve high contrast with a sharper toe.

6. Kodak Min-R EV Film System Novel sensitizing dye results in lower dye stain when compared to Min R-2000. The layer composition results in improved film drying. Finer grain emulsions provides lower granularity, which in turn reduces film noise and improved visualization of objects such as micro-calcification and spiculation. The image toe is similar to Min R-2000 film. The film is less susceptible to starry night artifacts. Novel sensitizing dye results in lower dye stain when compared to Min R-2000.

7. Kodak Min-R EV vs Min-R 2000 The sharper toe results in whiter whites in the glandular tissue, making micro-calcifications more visible. Higher mid-scale contrast will give better visualization of breast parenchyma. Higher shoulder contrast results in wider exposure latitude, especially at higher optical densities.The sharper toe results in whiter whites in the glandular tissue, making micro-calcifications more visible.

15. Kodak Min-R EV System Min R-EV film is not KWIK/RA or CEPROS-P processable. The better drying may increase surface drying artifacts and uneven density. Dryer temperatures may need to be adjusted. The film is not a drop-in with existing screens. Remember the film is slower and the screens are faster. It is equal to but not better than Min R-2000 for dust propensity.

16. Kodak Min-R EV System Must be properly set up! Mammographic X-ray equipment must be calibrated Warmer image tone (browner) will result as optical density increases Requires proper viewing conditions With the addition of the MIN-R EV system KODAK has a mammography film to meet every customer�s needs! To ensure that image quality is optimized, Kodak�s conversion instructions must be followed. Warmer image tone will result as optical density increases. This is also true for all silver halide films. The system does require proper viewing conditions. Images should be masked and ambient light should be reduced. Due to the higher contrast, artifacts such as minus density and radiographic noise may be more noticeable.To ensure that image quality is optimized, Kodak�s conversion instructions must be followed.
