Description of the ADC Compact cassette
The ADC Compact cassette and plate are compatible with existing X-ray tables.
The exposure equipment and routines do not have to be modified when switching
from conventional to digital imaging. Although compatible with existing X-ray
equipment, an ADC Compact cassette is quite different from a conventional
cassette. The most important difference lies inside, in the image receptor.
ADC Compact cassettes and ADC 70 cassettes are not interchangeable.
But the same image plates can be used for both.

Embedded memory
The main difference lies in the RF-tag memory chip that is permanently mounted
in the cassette. Using the ADC ID Software you can enter patient demographics
and examination data into the memory chip. The identification of this data is
performed by no-touch radiofrequency tagging via a built-in antenna card in the
ADC Compact cassette.
Image plate
Another difference between an ADC Compact cassette and a conventional
cassette is the X-ray sensitive element (image receptor). The latter is no longer a
film, but an image plate that can be re-used thousands of times.
