Gendex DenOptix® QST
Image contains ghost
images or shadows
Imaging plate was not
completely erased.
Imaging plate was
exposed with the back
of the IP facing the
tubehead You may
notice the writing from
the back of the plate
on the image.
Imaging plates have
been stored in barrier
envelopes for too long
a period.
Partial erasure of the
image due to exposure
to light during handling
of the imaging plates.
Increase the amount of time
that is used to erase plates.
Alternatively, increase the inten-
sity of the light source. To test if
an imaging plate is completely
erased, simply mount an erased
plate on a carousel and scan it.
If no image is obtained, your
procedure is effective at com-
pletely erasing imaging plates.
Insure the imaging plates are
inserted properly into the barri-
er envelope and the proper ori-
entation to the X-ray source is
maintained
Do not store imaging plates in
barrier envelopes for more than
one week.
Do not leave exposed imaging
plates in well-lit areas. Even in
the barrier envelope, some light
penetrates and can partially
er
ase t
he imaging plates.
Transfer imaging plates from
their protective barriers to the
DenOptix QST scanner as quickly
as possible using the Dark Box
(within one hour of exposure).
