2004 SEP 2 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- A mammography screen-film system from Eastman Kodak Company's Health Imaging Group won a 2004 "R&D 100" award that recognizes the 100 most technologically significant products introduced over the past year.
The Kodak MIN-R EV Screen-Film System, which provides enhanced visualization (EV) of subtle abnormalities in breast tissue to assist radiologists in detecting breast cancer, was voted a winner "because of the significant improvement it brings to early detection of this disease," said Tim Studt, editor-in-chief of R&D Magazine and program chairman for the R&D 100 Awards, which his publication sponsors.
"Our R&D 100 award recognizes major technological breakthroughs that can change people's lives for the better, improve the standard of living for large numbers of people, save lives, and promote good health," Studt said. "Kodak's new mammography film definitely meets these criteria."
