The CR 825/850 SYSTEM scans the STORAGE PHOSPHOR SCREENS at the resolutions in
37 of 120
the table below. The scan rate is the same for General Purpose (GP), High Resolution (HR)
SCREENS, and Enhanced High Resolution (EHR) of the same sizes.

For smaller SCREENS, compared to larger SCREENS:
•
pixel size is smaller
•
spot size of the laser beam and digitizing rate are the same
•
scanning speed is slower. To make smaller pixels, the speed of the horizontal motion of
the laser beam during the fast scan and the transport speed of the SCREEN under the
COLLECTOR during the slow scan decrease. The decrease in pixel size increases the
spatial resolution of the image.
