DX-G/DX-M Features
The digitizer reads out the latent X-ray images on image plates and sends
them to the workstation.
 The digitizer has an input and output buffer for 5 cassettes. Consecutively on
each cassette in the buffer, the digitizer:
• takes the cassette from the input buffer in the digitizer.
• locks the cassette containing the image plate in the cassette slot,
• 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 image plate ID data the status 'erased',
• unlocks the cassette,
• transmits the digital image data to the workstation.
• pushes the processed cassette into the output buffer.
• permits re-routing of images to another workstation (limited demographic
data of the image).
 The digitizer permits re-erasing an image plate before reusing it. In specific
cases, this is necessary to prevent ghost images caused by previous exposures or
scattered radiation from interfering with the image of interest.
