Basic Features

CR 30-X/CR 30-Xm Features

The digitizer reads out the latent X-ray images on image plates and sends 

them to the workstation.

Q

The digitizer accepts one cassette containing one image plate at a time. The 
digitizer:

locks the cassette containing the image plate in 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 image plate ID data the status 'erased',

unlocks the cassette,

transmits the digital image data to an image processing station 
(‘destination’).

Q

The digitizer permits assigning the status ‘emergency’ to an image.

Q

The digitizer permits re-erasing an image plate before reusing 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.

Q

With the dedicated ID station of the CR 30-X/CR 30-Xm, the following features 
are available:

quickly identifying cassettes without the need for an ID Tablet,

reading the identification data of a cassette.
