Product description Phosphor storage plate The PSP stores X-ray energy, which is re-emitted in the form of light after excitation by the laser. This light is then converted into image informa- tion in the phosphor storage plate scanner. The PSP has an active side and an inactive side. The PSP must always be exposed on the active side.

Appendix Appendix 14 Scanning times The scanning time is the time required for complete scanning of image data and depends on PSP for- mat and pixel size. The time to image depends mainly on the computer system used and its work load. Times stated are approximate.
Appendix 15 File sizes (uncompressed) The file sizes depend on the PSP format and the pixel size. File sizes stated are approximate and have been rounded upwards. Suitable compression methods can considerably reduce the file size without loss of data. Max.
