Basic configuration of CR (=Computed Radiography) system
•Developed and used a , called “Imaging Plate”
- The function of “Imaging Plate”
1) Imaging plate is a flexible plate of 1mm or less thickness coated with fine photostimulable phosphorus
crystal.
2) Temporarily stores the X-ray energy image in portion to the X-ray intensity it receives.
3) The stored energy is released as visible light when a laser in the CR Reader scans the IP.
This phenomenon is generally called “photostimulable luminescence” (PSL)
4) The image on the imaging plate is erased when exposing excessive light.
•Emit the blue light by laser beam scanning.
•The image reader ( = FireCR flash ) converts the latent image on the imaging plate into digital signal.

Basic configuration of CR (=Computed Radiography) system
[Imaging Plate] [Cassette Housing]
Basic configuration of CR (=Computed Radiography) system
1. X-ray image is stored on IP.
2. It is scanned with a 650 nanometer (nm) laser beam to produce PSL radiation corresponding to the absorbed
x-ray energy.
3. The luminescence radiation stimulated by laser scanning is collected through a light guide into photomuliplier
tube(PMT) which converts it into electric signals.
4. The signal output from the detector is an analog signal and the output from the analog to digital convertor is
time-series digital signal that is being processed.
5.The residual image is erased when exposing excessive light.
