CR 85-X DIGITIZER
Safety precautions
Observe great care whenever removing the image plate from the CR 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, recalibration
of the device for the use with CR cassettes could be necessary.
WARNING: 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.
