The image can be corrected by mirroring it in
the software. If a diagnosis is not possible in the
area of the marker then the image will need to
be acquired again.
With the aid of the copper dots set you
can retrospectively add a marker to im-
age plates (see "3.3 Optional items").
5.2 Image plate
The image plate stores X-ray energy, which is
re-emitted in the form of light after excitation via
the laser. This light is then converted to image
information in the image plate scanner.
The image plate has an active side and an inac-
tive side. The image plate must always be ex-
posed on the active side.
When used properly, image plates can be ex-
posed, read and erased several hundred times
provided there is no mechanical damage. The
image plate must be replaced if there are any
signs of damage, e.g. if the protective layer is
damaged or there are visible scratches that
could interfere with the diagnosis.
