The Howtek Fulcrum uses leading technology to digitize mammography and ultrasound films with the highest speed and accuracy ever obtained. Fulcrum’s rare new intense red gas illuminator penetrates even the darkest areas of film. And, the new Contact Imaging Strip (CIS) sensor technology captures high-quality images at the fastest speeds possible. With a small footprint, the Fulcrum digitizes films to preserve the greatest level of sensitivity for:

• Algorithms are provided with steady consistent data
• Expectations are surpassed with stability, accuracy and sensitivity

• Creates high-quality digital duplicates of original films
• Frees staff from handling films for secondary reads and post reads
• Performs remote overreads from digital images
• Saves money and time while improving productivity

• Digitizes films and digitally stores priors for future presentation in a soft copy reading environment
• Brings prior films into the same digital world to increase accuracy and productivity
