CR 85-X DIGITIZER
Image plate
Another difference between a CR cassette and a conventional cassette is the X-
ray sensitive element (image receptor). The latter is no longer a film, but an
image plate that can be re-used thousands of times.
The way in which this image plate is placed into the cassette is of great
importance. The side containing the white phosphor must be oriented
towards the black tube side of the cassette. The support side (back side) is
then oriented towards the red side of the cassette, as shown in the illustration
below.
The ‘clips’ mounted on the cassette prevent the cassette from being opened by
a conventional daylight system such as the Curix Capacity (Plus), so that even
in hybrid conventional/digital departments the occurrence of errors is
avoided.
