Trouble
Image shows artifacts
Probable cause
The imaging plate sur-
face is not clean and
has dust, powder or
stains on it. The surface
may be scratched.
The imaging plate was
removed from the
panoramic cassette too
quickly, which resulted
in a static discharge
Corrective action
Clean the imaging plate as out-
lined in Section 7.1. If the plate
is scratched or stained, do not
use the plate again.
Clean the imaging plate with
anhydrous isopropyl alcohol
AND remove from cassette
more slowly.

not seal properly
After the protective strip
covering the adhesive on
the barrier envelope was
removed, the adhesive
was touched or picked
up dirt.
Immediately seal the barrier
envelopes after removing the
adhesive strip.
Imaging plates fall out

ing procedure. You will hear a
“click” when the panoramic
screen is loaded properly.
