IP Handling
1 IP Erasure Processing
1.1 Secondary Erasure
Even when stored in a room, an IP is very sensitive and absorbs and accumulates natural
radioactivity such as cosmic rays or radiation energy emanating from radioisotopes con-
tained in construction materials such as those used for floors and walls. Perform secondary
erasure for IPs which have not been used that day.
For the detailed operation procedure, refer to Chapter 2, section 2.3, Conducting Exposure
Using a Cassette (IP) Left Unused for 8 Hours or More [SECONDARY ERASURE].
1.2 Primary Erasure
The following IPs must always be submitted to primary erasure prior to use for exposure.
(1) Over-exposed IP
(2) Incorrectly exposed IP
For the detailed operation procedure, refer to Chapter 2, section 2.4 and Conducting Image
Erasure Only [PRIMARY ERASURE].
2 Storage Conditions/Daily Maintenance
2.1 Storage Conditions
(1) Store IPs under the following environmental conditions.
Packed:
Unpacked: Under 33˚C and 80% RH
(2) Store IPs in a place where they are not exposed to direct sunlight or excessive ultraviolet
rays or various radioactive rays.
(3) Do not bend IPs or impose strong force on them.
2.2 Daily Maintenance
(1) Do not use damaged IPs because image diagnosis can be affected.
(2) Handle IPs as carefully as possible. Do not damage or stain IPs.
(3) Do not bend IPs, hit them against some other objects or drop on the floor or table.
