Polaroid Photoscanning¹

Washington, D.C.

ABSTRACT

Approximately 200 thyroid photoscans were performed in this clinic utilizing Polaroid film. These scans have demonstrated the usefulness of this film in photoscanning. Dark room facilities were not required and the photoscan was available for interpretation 60 seconds after the scan was completed. With the addition of an enlarged radiographic packet, Polaroid film could be used instead of regular radiographic film for scanning all organs. However, the currently available film is adequate for most photoscanning.

Through this Polaroid scanning method, photoscanning could be made more universally available as a diagnostic technique.
