IGITIZER

Description of the CR cassette

The CR cassette and plate are compatible with existing X-ray tables. The
exposure equipment and routines do not have to be modified when switching

from  conventional  to  digital  imaging.  Although  compatible  with  existing  X-
ray equipment, a CR cassette is quite different from a conventional cassette.
The most important difference lies inside, in the image receptor.

Embedded memory

The main difference lies in the RF-tag memory chip that is permanently

mounted in the cassette. Using the Agfa ID Software you can enter patient
demographics and examination data into the memory chip. The identification
of this data is performed by no-touch radiofrequency tagging via a built-in

antenna card in the CR cassette.

Note: ADC Compact cassettes and ADC 70 cassettes are not interchangeable. 
But the same image plates can be used for both.
