After scanning, the image plate runs through the
erasure unit. Image data still held on the image
plate will be erased by intense light.
The image plate is then output to be used
again.
The unit is capable of scanning up to four image
plates (depending on the sizes) simultaneously
at the same resoution.

Image files stored on an image plate are read
using an image plate scanner.
The appliance can be operated in two ways: Via
the imaging software on a computer, or directly
via the touch screen on the appliance.
The transport mechanism guides the image
plate through the appliance. In the scanner unit
a laser scans the image plate. The sampled
data is converted into a digital image.

Product description
Connections
The connections are on the rear side of the appliance.
5.2 Image plate
The image plate stores x-ray energy, which is
re-emitted when stimulated by the laser in the
form of light. This light is then transformed into
image information in the image plate scanner.
The image plate has both an active and an inactive side. The image plate must always be exposed to 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. protective layer is damaged or
visible scratches, which could interfere with diagnosis.

Exposure recognition
When the exposure recognition is switched on,
then the unit 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. A preview will not be displayed
on the touchscreen.
When the exposure recognition is switched off
and an unexposed image plate is scanned then
the unit will not display anything on the touchscreen or in the software.
TreFoc
The TreFoc-Technology of the HD-CR 35 NDT
Plus allows the size of the laser spot to be adjusted. This provides x-ray exposures with optimal signal-to-noise ratio and optimally adapted
resolution.
Using the pre-defined scanning modes (see "4.3
Scan mode") it is able, depending on the particular application, to select the matching scanning mode to suit the image plate.

11 Instructions for use
CAUTION
Image data on the image plate are
not resistant
The image data is altered by light, natural X-ray radiation and scattered X-ray
radiation. This will lead to a reduction in
diagnostic information.
• Read the image data within 30 minutes of exposure.
• Never handle exposed image plates
without the light protection cover.
• Do not subject an exposed image
plate to X-ray radiation before and after the reading process.
• Do not X-ray during the reading process if the appliance is in the same
room as the X-ray tube.

11.1Taking an X-ray
The exact procedure is given using an
18x24 image plate as example.
Required accessories:
X-ray with image plate cassette
• Slide the image plate completely into the flexible foil cassette. The black (inactive) side of
the image plate must be visible.
• Place the foil cassette in the rigid cassette.
The foam rubber side of the foil cassette must
point in the direction of the cover of the X-ray
cassette.
Alternatively the foil cassette can be packed
inside a foil sleeve. The seal must be on the
inactive side of the image plate.
–– Image plate
–– Foil cassette the same size as the image plate
Preparing the X-ray
The image plate must be prepared differently
according to actual operational conditions (humidity, cleanliness, mechanical loads).
99 Image plate has been cleaned.
99 Image plate is not damaged.
• Where using for the first time or when stored
for over a week: erase image plate (see "11.4
Erasing the image plate").
• Where required the correct position of the image plate (left or right side) can be identified
using lead letters.

Preparing reading
CAUTION
Light erases the image data on the
image plate
• Never handle exposed image plates
without the foil cassette.
• Take the rigid cassette/foil sleeve out of the
x-ray unit.
• In the event of heavy soiling, e. g. from grease
or oil, clean the rigid cassette/foil sleeve and
protective gloves, e. g. by wiping with a dry
and clean cellulose cloth.
• Close the foil sleeve/light protection cover.
• Where required the correct position of the image plate (left or right side) can be identified
using lead letters.
Producing an X-ray exposure
• Place the X-ray cartridge into the x-ray unit.
Make sure that the active side of the image
plate points towards the X-ray tube.
• Set exposure times and setting values on the
X-ray appliance.
• Produce an X-ray exposure.
Result:
The image data must be read within 30 minutes.
Where the image plate is used without
the image plate cassette, then it must
not be removed from its foil sleeve/light
protection cover and placed aside.
• Take the foil cassette with the image plate and
place on a working surface.
