Safety precautions
Observe great care whenever removing the image plate from the ADC Compact
cassette. Refer to the cleaning procedure described further on in this manual.
❖
The image plate causes a specific X-ray scattering. This influences the
response of the exposure control device. To compensate for this, recalibra-
tion of the device for the use with ADC Compact cassettes could be neces-
sary.
Make sure that the automatic exposure control device is placed above
the cassette, to prevent patients from receiving an overdose of X-rays.
When it is located underneath the cassette, the backscatter protection
(lead) contained in the red side of the cassette, retains a certain amount
of X-rays. The dose measured by the cell will then be much lower than
the dose actually given to the patient.
