title: Dry versus conventional laser imagers: film properties and image quality.
abstract: The authors compared image quality and stability with a dry laser imager versus a conventional wet laser imager. Hard copies of 56 magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomographic studies were analyzed for gray-scale distribution and temperature stability. Results with the dry laser imager did not reach the quality of results with a wet laser imager, but the performance and ecologic criteria were sufficient to make use of this technique advantageous.
