EXAMION image plate systems (otherwise known as computed radiography (CR) systems) are an ideal entry-level and/or backup facility, offering a cost-optimised solution for digital X-rays. Image plate systems are compact table-top devices. Their basic functioning relies on a two-step process which generates the X-ray images. After the imaging plate is exposed to the radiation source, the CR cassette is then inserted in the scanner where it is read. Only at this stage can the digital X-ray image be displayed on the viewer.
EXAMION’s X-AQS software includes a special operating mode designed for image plate scanners. Clicking on ‘Start’ in the software program initiates the respective reading process. Image post-processing and evaluation is performed in the same way as our standard software, with full functionality.
If you subsequently decide to switch from an imaging plate system to a digital detector system, our software remains virtually the same. Very little extra training would be required.
Our product portfolio includes a range of image plate systems. Contact us for more information. We will be happy to advise you on the best X-ray solution, tailored to suit you and your specific requirements.
Image plate systems can be used in conjunction with any stationary, mobile or portable X-ray system
Recording takes place in two steps: The X-ray image is first acquired, and reading then takes place via a separate procedure
Backup device: If your standard X-ray system should fail for any reason, the CR system is a cost-effective backup device with a very small footprint
