Safety precautions
Observe great care whenever removing the image plate from the ADC Compact
cassette. Refer to the cleaning procedure described further on in this manual.
Make sure that the automatic exposure control device is placed above
the cassette, to prevent patients from receiving an overdose of X-rays.
When it is located underneath the cassette, the backscatter protection
(lead) contained in the red side of the cassette, retains a certain amount
of X-rays. The dose measured by the cell will then be much lower than
the dose actually given to the patient.
The image plate causes a specific X-ray scattering. This influences the
response of the exposure control device. To compensate for this, recalibra-
tion of the device for the use with ADC Compact cassettes could be neces-
sary.
