Trouble Probable cause Corrective Action
Image is too dark Imaging plate has been
overexposed
Adjust brightness with
software. If this is not
possible, retake image at
lower exposure. See exposure
guidelines page 4-1.
Image contains ghost
images or shadows
Imaging plate was not
completely erased.
Increase the amount of time
that is used to erase plates.
Alternatively, increase the
intensity 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
completely erasing imaging
plates.
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.
Insure the imaging plates are
inserted properly into the
barrier envelope and the
proper orientation to the X-ray
source is maintained
Imaging plates have been
stored in barrier envelopes
for too long a period.
Do not store imaging plates in
barrier envelopes for more
than one week.
Partial erasure of the image
due to exposure to light
during handling of the
imaging plates.
Do not leave exposed imaging
plates in well-lit areas. Even in
the barrier envelope, some
light penetrates and can
partially erase the 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).
