IGITIZER
Safety precautions
Observe great care whenever removing the image plate from the CR cassette.
Refer to the cleaning procedure described further on in this manual.
The image plate causes a specific X-ray scattering. This influences the
response of the exposure control device. To compensate for this, recalibration
of the device for the use with CR cassettes could be necessary.

Safety precautions
WARNING: 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.
