WHAT IS CR? HOW DOES IT WORK?
Computed Radiography (CR) is the acquisition of a
digital image using a flexible Phosphor Imaging Plate (IP)
in place of conventional film.
WHY CR TECHNOLOGY FROM ALLPRO NDT?
High definition Computed Radiography
ALLPRO NDT has made a commitment to develop and
ALLPRO NDT is the first company worldwide that
has developed advanced scanner technology with a
Key advantages of CR include:
– IP’s are reusable
– No darkroom or chemicals required
– Exposure and processing times are reduced
– Easy workflow and image optimization with
ScanX View software
CR Technology consists of a 3 step process:
The imaging plate (IP) is exposed with X-ray or gamma

removes residual data from the IP which is then ready for
