    CR 85-X D IGITIZER Safety precautions Observe great care whenever removing the image plate from the CR cassette. Refer to the cleaning procedure described further on in this manual. WARNING: Make sure that the automatic exposure control device is placed above the cassette, to prevent patients from receiving an overdose of X-rays.

    Embedded memory The main difference lies in the RF-tag memory chip that is permanently mounted in the cassette. Using the Agfa ID Software you can enter patient demographics and examination data into the memory chip. The identification of this data is performed by no-touch radiofrequency tagging via a built-in antenna card in the CR cassette.
  • Page 106 CR 85-X D IGITIZER Image plate Another difference between a CR cassette and a conventional cassette is the X- ray sensitive element (image receptor). The latter is no longer a film, but an image plate that can be re-used thousands of times.

    CR plate does not end up in a cassette initialized for another code. In case of doubt, you should re-initialize the cassette using the initialization code on the CR plate. Use only AGFA CR Phosphor Plate Cleaner and a soft lint-free cellulose cloth to clean the plate. Caution: Do not use the AGFA CR phosphor plate cleaner to clean the CR MM3.0 Mammo image plates with a batch code starting with the letter “B”...

    Thanks to the red-shift of the stimulation spectrum, maximum stimulability is assured at 633 nm, the wavelength of the stimulating laser. The Agfa phosphor has excellent dark decay characteristics. Two hours after exposure, approximately 80% of the energy stored upon exposure is still available.
