System is designed to be durable and reliable.
A sealed design protects the unit from damage in
harsh environments and reduces dust and other
artifacts from entering the scanner. The
materials used are rugged and durable, and meets
strict military standards for operation, storage
and transportation. One main controller board
makes troubleshooting a snap. Gentle screen
handling minimizes wear and LED-based erase is
highly efficient with exceptionally long
life. Limited moving parts reduce the chance for
something to break. This means your system has
minimal downtime resulting in reliability you can
count on.

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

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

  (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.

  cover, making it easier to access the components
  inside. Easy access helps technicians reduce
  repair time.
