Centricity™ SP1001 features
The Centricity™ SP1001 is a Digitizer for image plates retaining latent X-ray
images. It has been developed for GEMS.
■
The Centricity™ SP1001 accepts one cassette containing one image plate at a
time. The Centricity™ SP1001:
• 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 Centricity™ SP1001 permits assigning the status ‘emergency’ to an image.
An emergency image will be given priority by the image processing station.
■
The Centricity™ SP1001 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 Centricity™ SP1001 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.

The Pathspeed™ CR Digitizers (Pathspeed™ SP1001 and Pathspeed™
MP3010) and the Centricity™ CR Digitizers (Centricity™ SP1001 and Centricity™
SP1001) are designed for operation with Agfa CR cassettes and Agfa CR
phosphor plates. Contact your local GE Medical Systems sales agent for product
