General
ScanX is a self-contained digital imaging scanner/eraser system that utilizes reusable photostimulable
or Phosphor Storage Plates (PSP) in place of X-ray film to produce quality digital radiographs. The PSPs
are durable and reusable thousands of times. Upon exposure to X-rays, the plate stores a latent image,
which is scanned by the ScanX. After scanning, the image is processed via the user-supplied computer
running authorized software and ready for viewing in seconds. In addition to immediate display of the
resultant images, the software allows image enhancement processing, storage (hard drive or CD), and
sharing/retrieval.
An additional feature of ScanX includes a patented in-line plate erase function that removes the latent
image from the plate immediately after scanning. This design provides an efficient one-operation scanning
and erasing process leaving the user with a PSP ready for the next X-ray procedure.
