CR 35-X features
The CR 35-X is a Digitizer for image plates retaining latent X-ray images. It has
been developed by Agfa.
 The CR 35-X accepts one cassette containing one image plate at a time. The
CR 35-X:
• 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 CR 35-X allows assigning the status ‘emergency’ to an image.
The Digitizer gives
an image priority to be sent to the image processing station if
the “Emergency key” was pressed before inserting an unidentified cassette.
 The CR 35-X allows 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 CR 35-X 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.
