SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

General
ScanX is a self-contained digital imaging scanner/eraser system that utilizes reusable photostimulable
or Phosphor Storage Plates (PSP) in place of X-ray film to produce quality digital radiographs . The PSPs
are durable and reusable thousands of times . Upon exposure to X-rays, the plate stores a latent image,
which is scanned by the ScanX . After scanning, the image is processed via the user-supplied computer
running authorized software and ready for viewing in seconds . In addition to immediate display of the
resultant images, the software allows image enhancement processing, storage (hard drive or CD), and
sharing/retrieval .
An additional feature of ScanX includes a patented in-line plate erase function that removes the latent
image from the plate immediately after scanning . This design provides an efficient one-operation scanning
and erasing process leaving the user with a PSP ready for the next X-ray procedure .
