Period

This film never used. This type probably used late 1990s-early 2000s.

Canada

Used by Dr. Roger Ghys in his Montreal, PQ medical practice. Dr. Ghys is considered to be among the first Canadian physicians to routinely use ultrasound and related techniques to diagnose breast cancer (late 1980’s). Dr. Ghys also provided surgeons with positional data (and images) accurate enough that many imaging procedures didn't have to be repeated. (ref.1)

Function

Media used to produce graphic image of internal structures

Technical

Multi-image camera produces six 3 1/2" x 2 3/4" images on a sheet of 8 x 10 single emulsion film. Camera uses six lenses with individual shutters, the only moving parts in the unit. All mirrors are orientated vertically so that dust cannot settle, distorting the image. Camera is an accessory to diagnostic unit and operates independently of tv monitor on which images are viewed. (ref. 2)
