Overview


EDR2 film is a new addition to Kodak's award winning family of products designed specifically for Oncology applications.

Compared to most x-ray films, EDR is relatively insensitive to x-ray energies and under clinical tests shows an extensive linear path across a very large dose area in the film level making it particularly useful for evaluation of IMRT, and other high dose applications including absolute dosimetry.

EDR2 is a Ready-Pack film and available in two sizes 10x12" or 35x43cm, each pack containing 50 sheets.
