    MP161 / MP171 / MP201 - Can these models scan x-rays well?

    I have a dental office looking to scan and archive their x-rays and they also need an all-in-one so I am wondering if this model can do a decent job. Has anyone used these models for that?

    I dont think, that this will work very well, because you will need a backlight to scan the the x ray films, like scanning a dia or a photo film negative.

    I have no idea about this, but I seriously doubt it, and the results will be very similar regardless of the model #.
    Doesn't this fall into the category of: Try it, and see what happens?

    See if they can give you a sample, so that You can test it with various models.

    That may be much easier said than done, though, with HIPPA rules being what they are.

    Thanks, I will have to do the testing unless someone can let me know how it went when they tried.

    An X-Ray is a transparency and you will need a backlight behind the film to scan, so the light is transmitted through the X-Ray Film to the scanner head!

    From a quick search I've done, the prices range anywhere from $5k--$15k for a decent machine!

    Apparently, your clients don't want to pay the price for the specialized item and want to "cheap-out"....it ain't gonna happen!

    They are better off leasing a machine and hiring someone to specialize in getting the job done right!

    qbert is bang on, a CCD could never be expected to scan that kind of image - they'd need something like this:

    Electronic Anamnesis Applications
    It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

    Hit it.

    Not sure I would trust the quality of a scanned image from this device for medical diagnostics, but you might test it with leaving the lid up and placing a bright spot/flood light above it. And scan it in grayscale, not text.

    NOT GONNA WORK!!!

    THE LIGHT ON THE SCANNER HEAD HAS TO BE OFF!!!

    A TRANSPARENCY SCANNER TRANSMITS LIGHT THROUGH THE MEDIA BEING SCANNED TO THE SCANNER HEAD!!!

    DOH!!!

    THE MFP WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A LIGHT BUILT INTO THE ADF LID!!!

    What about an A4 sized mirror?
