CR 35-X features

The CR 35-X is a Digitizer for image plates retaining latent X-ray images. It has
been developed by Agfa.
The CR 35-X accepts one cassette containing one image plate at a time. The

CR 35-X:
•
takes the cassette containing the image plate from the cassette slot;
•
removes the image plate from the cassette;
•
scans the image plate;
•
converts the information of the latent image to digital data;
•
transmits the image data to the preview station;
•
erases the image plate and re-inserts it into the cassette;
•
gives the cassette ID data the status 'erased';
•
returns the cassette;
•
transmits the digital image data to an image processing station ('destination').
The CR 35-X allows assigning the status 'emergency' to an image.

The Digitizer gives
the "Emergency key" was pressed before inserting an unidentified cassette.
The CR 35-X allows re-erasing an image plate before re-using it. In specific

cases, this is necessary to prevent ghost images caused by previous exposures or
stray radiation from interfering with the image of interest.
If the CR 35-X is dedicated to one ID Station, additional features are available:

•
quickly identifying cassettes without the need for an ID Tablet;
•
reading the identification data of a cassette;
•
initializing a cassette, i.e. changing the image plate type.
