%X The trend towards filmless imaging has, ironically, created growing physician demand for hard-copy images. PACS may improve report turnaround time, increase radiologist' efficiency, and eliminate film, but it has failed to satisfy many referring physicians. They don't want to search databases, worry about infrastructure, deal with CD's or have their office bandwidth choked by huge images files. "nConsequently, hospitals and clinics are seeking inexpensive ways to produce non-diagnostic prints of sufficient quality that physicians can use for treatment planning and consultation with colleagues and patients. Ideally, it should be easy to incorporate into patients records."naycan's xray-print solution lets you print radiological and other medical images on plain paper at near film quality. It fits seamlessly into both traditional and PACS workflows to provide a low-cost solution for sharing imaging with referral physicians and patients."n  90% cost reduction - off current hard copy medical imaging cost. "n  Operated like a film camera - no difference in operation of a paper printer vs. a film laser camera (no time intensive special training, same workflow). "n  Easy file and store - paper can be easily filed and stored with other patient records.. "n  Use of color - images such as 3-D, US and NM can be printed in color. "n  No light sensitivity - unlike film, paper prints are not degradable by direct sunlight."n  The aycan xray-print software includes DICOM Presentation Look-Up tables (PLUT), which allows you to set defaults and adjust image quality settings (brightness, grey scale, contrast etc.) for each modality."n  Requested Image Size Lets you print images in true size."n  RGB and CMYK Color Correction modes Real time preview window Gives you a preview of your adjustments before you actually print."n  System Recovery aycan xray-print boots directly from CD with every restart of your system and corrects eventual damages immediately. In case of a complete hard disk failure you can restore your system within
