EXAMION imaging plate systems offer a cost optimised pathway to digital X-rays. Unlike detectors that directly transfer the X-ray image to your control computer, imaging plate systems work in several steps. First, the imaging plate cassette is exposed using your X-ray system, then it is inserted into the imaging plate scanner and the imaging plate is automatically removed from the scanner and read out.
Imaging plates are suitable if the practice is not under excessive time pressure and thus the delay in producing the X-ray image caused by the more complex readout process is not an issue. This makes imaging plate scanners the ideal entry-level systems for digital X-rays.
The available scanner systems can handle approximately 60 cassettes per hour with a format of 35 cm x 43 cm. The time it takes to read out the imaging plate cassettes is balanced to a certain extent by the fact that, in addition to the 35 cm x 43 cm format, there are also smaller cassette formats where the readout process is completed slightly faster.
Our imaging plate scanners are tabletop units and are among the most compact in their class.
Can be easily combined with all existing X-ray systems for the preferred X-ray format 35 cm x 43 cm
Thanks to the (almost) identical X-AQS X-ray software, a switch can be made to detector technology without time-consuming training
Suitable for any practice where X-rays are occasionally taken.
