ROCHESTER, New York (AP) - Eastman Kodak Co. is rolling out a higher-speed X-ray film that can halve a patient's exposure to radiation without blurring image quality - and might provide a financial cushion as the world's biggest film manufacturer refocuses on digital technology.
The Hyper Speed G medical film is the first X-ray film in a generation to offer a 50 percent or better drop in radiation dosage, according to company researchers who also say it lessens the need for retakes.
