Resolution of the
SCREEN
General Purpose
(GP-25)
High Resolution
(HR)
Enhanced High
Resolution (EHR)
The light intensity of the exposed GP-25 SCREEN is less than the HR and EHR SCREENS.
The CR 825/850 SYSTEM adjusts for the difference in light intensity by adjusting the pixel
code values in the image processing.
•
thicker PHOSPHOR COATING than the HR SCREEN, making the
image less sharp
•
no special exposure procedures are necessary
•
thinner PHOSPHOR COATING than the GP-25 SCREEN, making
the image sharper
•
approximately 2 times the X-ray exposure is necessary
•
thinner PHOSPHOR COATING than the HR SCREEN, improving the
image quality
•
approximately 4 times the X-ray exposure
