How does the CR system acquire an image?
The exposure occurs basically the same as the CMOS digital X-ray technology. The difference is the CR technology utilizes a storage phosphor plate in a cassette much like the film cassette instead of a panel. The plate is positioned like a film cassette would be placed and the exposure occurs. The plate is then removed and taken back to the darkroom and placed in a reader. The reader has a laser scanner that reads down the information from the storage phosphor plate and displays the information on a monitor. This is interpreted for the results. The biggest advantage this technology has over film is the storage phosphors are reusable and the exposure time is usually much less than film.
