ADC Solo features
The ADC Solo is a Digitizer for image plates retaining latent X-ray images. It has
been developed by Agfa.
■
The ADC Solo accepts one cassette containing one image plate at a time. The
ADC Solo:
• takes the cassette containing the image plate from the cassette slot;
• removes the image plate from the cassette;
• scans the image plate;
• converts the information of the latent image to digital data;
• transmits the image data to the preview station;
• erases the image plate and re-inserts it into the cassette;
• gives the cassette ID data the status ‘erased’;
• returns the cassette;
• transmits the digital image data to an image processing station (‘destination’).
■
The ADC Solo permits assigning the status ‘emergency’ to an image. An
emergency image will be given priority by the image processing station.
■
The ADC Solo permits re-erasing an image plate before re-using it. In specific
cases, this is necessary to prevent ghost images caused by previous exposures
or stray radiation from interfering with the image of interest.
■
If the ADC Solo is dedicated to one ID Station, additional features are available:
• quickly identifying cassettes without the need for an ID Tablet;
• reading the identification data of a cassette;
• initializing a cassette, i.e. changing the image plate type.
