The image plate scanner is used to read image
data stored on the image plate.
The device can be used in two different ways: via
the imaging software on a PC or directly via the
touch screen on the unit.
The transport mechanism guides the image plate
through the device. The image plate is read using
a laser inside the scanner unit. The scanned data
is converted into a digital image.
If a scanning task is started via the imaging soft-
ware, the image is automatically transmitted to
the computer.
If a scanning task is started via the touch screen,
the image is saved to the memory card and then
needs to be transferred to the computer.
After scanning, the image plate runs through the
erasure unit. Image data still held on the image
plate is erased with the aid of bright light.
The image plate is then ejected for re-use.
The unit can scan up to four image plates
(depending on the sizes) simultaneously with the
same resolution.
Operating elements

The touch screen allows the unit to be operated
when it is not connected to a computer. Instruc-
tions can be entered on the touch screen either
with the tip of a finger or the stylus.
The Help button can be used to open a help
page for the relevant screen. The Messages but-
ton can be used to recall current messages.

Exposure recognition
When the exposure recognition is switched on,
then the device will detect whether an image
plate is exposed or not on insertion. When an
exposed image plate is scanned then an X-ray
image will be displayed. When an unexposed
image plate is scanned then an empty image
plate will be displayed. No preview image is dis-
played on the touch screen
When the exposure recognition is switched off
and an unexposed image plate is scanned then
the device will not display anything on the touch
screen or in the software.
DualFoc
The DualFoc technology of the device allows the
size of the laser spot to be set. This provides X-
ray images with optimal signal/noise ratio and
optimally adapted resolution.
The predefined scanning modes allow the appro-
priate scanning mode to be selected for the par-
ticular application, depending on the image plate
used.
For example with the intraoral image plates
(blue), the "VET Dental" scanning mode supports
the read-out for maximum detailing with the high
resolution of 12.5 µm laser spots.
On the other hand, for an abdomen examination,
the "VET Standard" scanning mode is used with
an extraoral image plate (white) and the setting
for the large laser spot of 50 µm is selected in
order to produce a brilliant, low noise image.

5.2 Image plate
The image plate stores X-ray energy, which is re-
emitted in the form of light after excitation via the
laser. This light is then converted to image infor-
mation in the image plate scanner.
The image plate has an active side and an inac-
tive side. The image plate must always be
exposed on the active side.
When used properly, image plates can be
exposed, read and erased several hundred times
provided there is no mechanical damage. The
image plate must be replaced if there are any
signs of damage, e.g. if the protective layer is
damaged or there are visible scratches that could
interfere with the diagnosis.

5.3 Light protection cover
The light protection cover protects the image
plate against light.
5.4 Flexible foil cassette
The flexible foil cassette has several protection
features for extraoral image plates:
– Protection against sunlight and UV light, and
therefore protection against accidental erasure
– Protection against mechanical damage
The flexible foil cassette can be used in non-dirty
environments.

5.5 Rigid foil cassette
The rigid foil cassette has several protection fea-
tures for intraoral image plates:
– Protection against sunlight and UV light, and
therefore protection against accidental erasure
– Protection against mechanical damage
The rigid foil cassette can be used in non-dirty
environments.
5.6 Foil sleeve
The foil sleeve has several protection features for
extraoral image plates:
– Protection against sunlight and UV light, and
therefore protection against accidental erasure
– Protection against mechanical damage
– Protection against contamination and soiling
The foil sleeves can be used in wet and dirty
environments.
5.7 Rigid cassette
The rigid cassette can be implemented in stand-
ard X-ray cassette drawers. Additionally rigid
cassettes offer protection against damage.
5.8 Stylus
The touch screen can be operated using the sty-
lus as an alternative to the tip of a finger.
5.9 Bite protector (optional)
The bite protector protects the image plate size 4
as well as the light protection cover against
heavy mechanical damage, e.g. if the
patient bites down too hard during the X-ray
exposure.
5.10 Light protection screen
The light protection screen reduces the amount
of stray light that can enter the device. Addition-
ally the light protection screen hinders the image
plate from falling out after scanning is completed.
