Carestream updates Image Suite V4 software

Oct 1, 2025

Carestream launched the latest update to its Image Suite V4 Software, MR11, for both computed radiography (CR) and digital radiography (DR) systems.

The update offers new features and functionality, such as a user-friendly interface, specialized measurement tools, and an optional mini PACS module, the company said.

New features include the following:

Bone suppression: automatically generates a companion image to suppress the appearance of bone and enhance soft tissue visualization

Pneumothorax visualization: automatically generates a companion image from the original exposure to accentuate the appearance of free air in the chest cavity

SmartGrid technology: reduces scatter radiation to enable lower patient exposure and improve overall workflow

Enhanced visualization of tube and line: companion image provides clearer, easier visualization of PICC lines and tubes

Features designed to enhance the user and patient experience include cross-system detector sharing that enables use of an additional Focus or Focus HD Detector registered in another Image Suite system and customizable looks to suit user preferences, Carestream said.
