3.1 Performing Erasure Before Use IPs

In order to prevent image degradation of IPs that you are going to use for the first time for the day's
work, perform erasure on them before use.
If IPs to be used for the day's radiographic
exposure work are not yet used on the day, it is
necessary to perform erasure on them. In the
course of this erasure, any excess energy each IP
has accumulated is dissipated. Even when the IP
is stored in a room, it absorbs and accumulates
natural radiation such as cosmic rays and radiation
energy emanating from radioisotopes contained in
construction materials such as those used for floors
and walls. If such an energy-loaded IP is used as-
is, image degradation may result.
Precautions to observe before using an IP or when
deleting images from an over-exposed IP
See [Z.1.2 Precautions to Observe Before
Using an IP] in the Reference Guide.
By using the following procedure, perform erasure
of the image on the IP.
