ADC Solo features

The ADC Solo is a Digitizer for image plates retaining latent X-ray images. It has
been developed by Agfa.
The ADC Solo accepts one cassette containing one image plate at a time. The
ADC Solo:
• takes the cassette containing the image plate from the cassette slot;
• removes the image plate from the cassette;
• scans the image plate;
• converts the information of the latent image to digital data;
• transmits the image data to the preview station;
• erases the image plate and re-inserts it into the cassette;
• gives the cassette ID data the status 'erased';
• returns the cassette;
• transmits the digital image data to an image processing station ('destination').
The ADC Solo permits assigning the status 'emergency' to an image. An
emergency image will be given priority by the image processing station.
The ADC Solo permits re-erasing an image plate before re-using it. In specific
cases, this is necessary to prevent ghost images caused by previous exposures
or stray radiation from interfering with the image of interest.
If the ADC Solo is dedicated to one ID Station, additional features are available:
• quickly identifying cassettes without the need for an ID Tablet;
• reading the identification data of a cassette;
• initializing a cassette, i.e. changing the image plate type.
