I'll just wade back into this conversation from the film (they can do that?) perspective. Any one desiring to shoot film may want to consider a C-41 Process Black& White film such as Kodak's BW400CN film. This type of film can be processed at pretty much any film processing source where they do C-41 processing. I would suggest rather than having prints made, have a CD burned. This can then be entered into an EMR system and/or reviewed on a computer. It could also be transmitted electronically, though all sorts of HIPPA contortions would have to be followed (or ignored). Here's the Kodak data sheet: http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/products/films/bw400cn/main2.jhtml?pq-path=13402 Here's a PhotoNet discussion: http://photo.net/black-and-white-photo-film-processing-forum/00ZYNj While I haven't tried this myself, it is a distinct alternative to the expense of going full digital. It could be especially useful in locales where just a few angiograms are performed annually. Of course the downside is that one does not get to monitor the angiogram as it occurs. Finally, one could try using color C-41 process film. Have it processed normally, digitized, then use desaturate-contrast-brightness-levels adjustments to obtain the desired imaging. When the Canon full frame cameras first came out they did not have a B&W mode, so we shot color angiograms and processed them to B&W.
