PathSpeed CR SP1001 features
The PathSpeed CR SP1001 is a digitizer for image plates retain-
ing latent X-ray images.
■
The PathSpeed CR SP1001 accepts one cassette containing
one image plate at a time. The PathSpeed CR SP1001:
•
takes the cassette containing the image plate from the cassette
slot;
•
reads the cassette ID data;
•
removes the image plate from the cassette;
•
scans the image plate;
•
converts the information of the latent image to digital data;
•
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 device
(‘destination’).
■
The PathSpeed CR SP1001 permits assigning the status
‘emergency’ to an image. An emergency image will be given
priority by the image processing device.
■
The PathSpeed CR 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.
