Devices designed to acquire and process an electronic image obtained from diagnostic imaging systems (e.g., x-ray systems, x-ray computed tomography [CT] systems, or fluoroscopy systems). These processors usually include an electronic unit that processes, stores, or transmits the input image and delivers it to peripheral devices (e.g., monitors, printers, workstations) and/or to other computerized systems for storage, retrieval, and/or processing. These image processors may include the ability to enhance low quality images and to manipulate the images in real-time.
