The phosphor crystals then release a blue light and return to their stable ground state. The EPIX SCANNER reads this blue light and, with the imaging software, produces an image. This process does not completely erase the imaging plate. -
Page 28: Appendix B: Lighting Conditions For Handling Or Erasing Imaging Plates
Appendix B: Lighting Conditions for Handling or Erasing Imaging Plates Without light, storage phosphor imaging would not work. The red light from the laser scanner excites the exposed imaging plates, causing them to emit blue light. After your computer interprets the blue light and changes it into a digital image, light is used to erase the residual information from the imaging plate. - Page 29 Practical Test 1. Completely erase an imaging plate by subjecting it to direct, intense light for about 20 minutes. Logos Imaging EPIX Scanner User Manual 2. Scan the imaging plate. No image should appear on the monitor. If an image does appear, repeat step 1 with a more intense light source.
