Possible to scan MRI film w/desktop scanner?

[Dan]

Hi All,
An overseas doc requested I email him a copy of my last MRI. tHE
HOSPITAL where the MRI was done is unable to put it on disc. I've got
an Epson Perfection640, any idea if I could use that and what settings
would I use? Thanks.

I assume that the Epson Perfection 640 is NOT a Photo 640. The Photo 640 has
a transparency adapter for 35mm slides.

If you have one of those fluorescent flashlights, you can try putting the
MRI film on the flatbed and the flashlight on top of the film. Thereby
giving backlighting to the film.
Scan the normal way, you may have adjust the scan settings to get a good
scan.

These two links are methods to scan slides (transparencies) without a TPA.
