13. Why Choose the Vita CR? – Quality Images!
Images are processed using Image Processing EVP Plus Algorithms -the same technology used across all Carestream CR and DR systems! Optimized into six pre-configured positions - you to get the desired image look with minimal effort.
This system default provides a low noise, smooth image and is suitable for all body parts.
Standard
This highest contrast look is appropriate for all body parts.
High Contrast
Has higher contrast than a standard look but is still suitable for all body parts.
Medium Contrast
This look is suitable for images needing wider latitude such as abdomen, spine and chest.
Wide Latitude
The image contrast, latitude and sharpness remain fixed (like film), but brightness is adjusted to correct for under and over exposed images.
Traditional
This high contrast look provides narrow latitude for extremity imaging.
Extremity
Consistent results = Fewer retakes = Greater efficiency

14. Why Choose the Vita CR? – Quality Images!
Powerful technology drives quality images. Here are some of the advanced features of the Vita CR that will help your facility generate outstanding digital images
16 bit A/D linear data captured at the Vita CR (compared to some CRs that capture at only 10 or 12 bit) - provides the user with the most digital data to process and view.
High signal to noise ratio producing great flat field uniformity and low noise.
Wide Exposure Range (0.01 – 40mR) allowing you to capture a wider range of exposures without saturation.
Low phosphor screen noise and high resolution capabilities result in outstanding digital images.

15. Why Choose the Vita CR? – Easy to Service!
There are only four screws to remove the Vita CR cover, making it easier to access the components inside. Easy access helps technicians reduce repair time.
