Using the Scanner

Operational Principles

The Kodak Point-of-Care CR 120/140 System is designed for medical
professionals to read phosphor x-ray screens (CR).
The system consists of the Kodak Point-of-Care CR 120/140 scanner and
includes:
• Kodak Quality Control software for Kodak Point-of-Care CR Systems
• Plug and play USB2 interface
• Optional image viewing and archiving software that supports the Digital
Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM)3.0 standard, such
as Kodak Acquisition Software for Kodak Point-of-Care CR Systems
• Optional screens and cassettes in the following standard sizes: 8" x 10";
10" x 12"; 14" x 14"; 14" x 17"; 24 x 30 cm.
The Kodak Point-of-Care CR 120/140 System is a digital imaging system for
image acquisition and processing of static projection radiography that uses a
phosphor screen with energy storage capability as an x-ray image receptor.
After exposure, a laser beam, which stimulates luminescence proportional to
the local x-ray exposure, reads the screen. The luminescence signal is
digitized and processed.
The Kodak Point-of-Care CR 120/140 scanner enables you to read a screen
quickly and erase it for the next exposure.
