4 Collection tray
The image plate scanner is used to read image
data stored on an image plate and to transfer the
data to the imaging software (e.g. VistaSoft) on a
computer.
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 and transferred
to the imaging software.
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.

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.

1 Inactive side Black, printed with the
word "back" and the size
and manufacturer's infor-
mation
2 Active side Light blue, with position-
ing aid
The positioning aid is visible on the X-ray
image and makes it easier to align the image cor-
rectly during diagnosis.
Exposure from the wrong side
A marker is attached to the inactive side of the
image plate.
1
1 Marker
If the image plate has been exposed from the
wrong side, the marker is visible as a shadow in
the X-ray image.
1
1 Marker visible as a shadow
The image can be corrected by mirroring it in the
software. If a diagnosis is not possible in the area
of the marker then the image will need to be
acquired again.
With the aid of the copper dots set you
can retrospectively add a marker to image
plates (see "3.3 Optional items").
Clear assignment of image plate to image
(Image Plate Plus ID only)
On the Image Plate Plus ID there is also a hex-
adecimal code on the image plate in addition to
the marker. This code can be seen in the X-ray
image.
This code allows you to clearly assign the correct
image plate to the X-ray image.

5.3 Light protection cover
The light protection cover protects the image
plate against light.
5.4 Protection cover
The protective cover protects the device against
dust and dirt, for example during extended peri-
ods in which it is not in use.
5.5 Storage box
Image plates packaged in light protection covers
can be stored in the storage box until they are
next used. The storage box protects the image
plate and the light protection cover against con-
tamination and dirt.
