CR 85-X DIGITIZER
CR 85-X features
The CR 85-X scans the exposed CR image plate, converts the information into
digital data and automatically transfers the image to the image processing
station for further processing and visualization.
The CR 85-X requires but little manual interaction. All you have to do, after
exposure and identification of the cassette, is to place it in the input buffer of
the CR 85-X. You can deposit up to 10 cassettes of different sizes
simultaneously in the input buffer. The Digitizer takes in the cassettes one by
one. The Digitizer reads the demographic data and routing information from
the memory chip in the cassette, opens the cassette, removes the image plate
and scans the latent image by means of a sweeping laser beam.
Once the image is digitized, the cassette is returned to the output buffer to be
used for new exposures. After a full Digitizer cycle, the plate has turned 180°
in the cassette.
Depending on the X-ray intensity which has affected the phosphor during the
exposure, more or less light will be emitted during laser scanning. The light is
converted into an electrical signal. This signal is then converted into a digital
bit stream. Once converted into digital form, the digitized image is
transferred to the image processing station for further processing and
visualization.
Further features of the CR 85-X include:
 The CR 85-X permits assigning the status ‘emergency’ to an image. An emer-

gency image will be given priority by the image processing station.
 The CR 85-X permits re-erasing an image plate before re-using it. In specific
cases, this is necessary to prevent ghost images caused by previous exposures or
stray radiation from interfering with the image of interest. You can erase a
batch of up to 9 image plates.

Chapter 2
Basic operation
(‘Operator mode’)
This chapter provides basic information on how to digitize

image plates under normal conditions and in emergency
situations. It also treats how to erase an image plate to
prevent ghost images caused by previous exposures or by
scattered radiation. These functions are available in operator
mode.
 Reading an image plate

 Reading an emergency image plate
 Re-erasing an image plate
CR 85-X DIGITIZER
Reading an image plate
The main function of the CR 85-X is digitizing image plates and transmitting
the digital image data to the preview station and the image processing
station.
To read one or more image plates:
1 Make sure the cassette has been properly identified via the ID Station.
Refer to the User manual of the ID Software.
2 Check that the CR 85-X is ready for operation:
• the CR 85-X must display the operator screen with ‘Ready’ or ‘Busy’ status.
VIPS not ready READY Status field
CR 85-X
• the status indicator at the top of the CR 85-X must be constant or flashing
green.
Note: The CR 85-X is operational if the status field equals ‘READY’, even if
status messages of the destination are shown (e.g. ‘VIPS not ready’).
3 Place one or more cassettes in the input buffer.
38 Basic operation (‘Operator mode’) 4451C EN 2013-04-30

CR 85-X DIGITIZER
You can insert up to 10 cassettes, even of different sizes. Make sure that the cassette
opening mechanism is at the bottom.
The Digitizer automatically takes in the first cassette, reads the image plate, and
forwards the digital image data to the preview station for fast precheck and to the
image processing station for image processing.
If fast preview is enabled, the CR 85-X transmits the digital image data in blocks of
typical 100 lines to the preview station.
When the CR 85-X has treated the cassette, it displays the operator main screen.
4 Remove the cassette(s) from the output buffer.
Note: When the CR 85-X returns the cassette, it is ready to be re-used

immediately. However, if you leave it for more than 3 days before re-using it,
you must re-erase it first. Refer to ‘Re-erasing an image plate’ on page 43.
4451C EN 2013-04-30 Basic operation (‘Operator mode’)

39
CR 85-X DIGITIZER
Reading an emergency image plate
You may have an image plate which you wish to give priority over other image
plates which are being processed by the image processing station. Such image
plates are referred to as 'emergency image plates'.
Note: The emergency status will only be assigned to the first image plate
which you insert into the CR 85-X cassette slot after pressing the Emergency
key.
To read an emergency image plate:

VIPS not ready READY Status field
CR 85-X
green.
Note: The CR 85-X is operational if the status field equals ‘READY’, even if
status messages of the destination are shown (e.g. ‘VIPS not ready’).
2 Press the Emergency key on the keypad.
The display will read:

CR 85-X DIGITIZER
READY
EMERGENCY
WARNING
Next cassette gets emergency status
CR 85-X
3 Place the cassette you want to give emergency status first in the stack of cassettes in
the input buffer.
Do not place the cassette with emergency status in the stack while the input
mechanism is busy getting a cassette from the stack.
Note: If you do not enter a cassette within 1 minute after pressing the
Emergency key, the CR 85-X will quit the emergency function and return to
the operator main screen.
If fast preview is enabled, the CR 85-X transmits the digital image data in
blocks of typical 100 lines to the preview station.
When the CR 85-X has read the identification data of the emergency cassette,
it displays the operator main screen. The Digitizer resumes processing the
remaining cassettes in the cassette input buffer.
If you decide not to assign emergency status to a cassette after having pressed
Emergency, you can quit the Emergency function by either pressing Escape or
by pressing the Emergency key a second time (‘toggle’ key).

41
CR 85-X DIGITIZER
Note: If a ‘WARNING’ or ‘LOCKED’ message is displayed during the

Emergency procedure, the CR 85-X will not quit the Emergency mode. Refer
to Chapter 4, ‘Troubleshooting’.
4 Remove the cassette from the output buffer.

CR 85-X DIGITIZER
Re-erasing an image plate
At the end of a normal or emergency digitizing cycle, the CR 85-X returns an

erased image plate. However, in the following cases, you must re-erase the
image plate before re-using it in order to prevent ghost images from
interfering with the image of interest:
• If the image plate has not been used for more than 3 days.
In this case, the image plate may have been exposed to scattered radiation.
• If an image plate has been exposed to an exceptionally high X-ray dose.
In this case, deep layers of the image plate may still retain a latent image after
standard erasure. Leave the image plate to rest at least one day before re-erasing
it.
You can erase image plates which you have given the status ‘to be erased’ via
the ID Station or image plates which have the status ‘erased’. You can erase an
image plate or a batch of up to 9 plates.
Re-erasing image plates with status ‘erased’

To erase one or more image plates which have been erased as part of a normal
or emergency digitizing cycle:

While erasing, the CR 85-X will still display the above screen and the status indicator
will be green flashing. When the CR 85-X has erased the image plate, it displays the
operator main screen.
You can now add (exposed) cassettes to the batch of cassettes. The Digitizer will only
erase as many cassettes as you have specified.
If you place fewer cassettes in the cassette input buffer than you have specified, the
Digitizer will erase the cassettes in the buffer and revert to normal mode after a time-
out of 1 minute.

Enabling/disabling fast preview
If fast preview is enabled, the Digitizer will transmit the digital image data to
the preview station as soon as you have entered the identification data. The
image data are sent in blocks of typical 100 lines. Fast preview permits you to
quickly assess whether the exposure was successful. As soon as the preview
image has been calculated, the fast preview image will be replaced by the
preview image. For more information, refer to the documentation of the
workstation (for example, the User manual of the ADC Preview Software).
Note: Your service engineer can configure which station serves as preview
station. Either identifying and previewing images is done on the ID station,
or a dedicated station is reserved for previewing images. For more
information, contact your local service organization.

4 If the error condition and attendant message persists, contact your local service
organization and communicate the error number.

CR 85-X DIGITIZER
Clearing cassette jams
A cassette can get jammed when the CR 85-X takes in a cassette or when it
returns a cassette to the output buffer. If this is the case, you see part of the
cassette either in the input buffer or in the output buffer.
To clear a cassette jam:
1 Switch off the CR 85-X.

Refer to ‘Switching off the CR 85-X’ on page 34.
2 Push the black handle located under the control panel gently to the left to unlock
the front doors of the CR 85-X.

CR 85-X DIGITIZER
Clearing image plate jams
The CR 85-X always reads and digitizes the plate first, then erases it and feeds
it to the output buffer. If a plate jam occurs before the plate is scanned, there
is a fair chance that you can recover the image by putting the image plate back
into the cassette and digitizing it again. While handling the image plate,
prevent exposing it to daylight as much as possible.
The diagram below shows the possible locations of a jammed image plate and
the probable status of the image.

Safety precautions
Observe great care whenever removing the image plate from the CR cassette.
Refer to the cleaning procedure described further on in this manual.
WARNING: Make sure that the automatic exposure control device is

placed above the cassette, to prevent patients from receiving an
overdose of X-rays. When it is located underneath the cassette, the
backscatter protection (lead) contained in the red side of the cassette,
retains a certain amount of X-rays. The dose measured by the cell will
then be much lower than the dose actually given to the patient.
The image plate causes a specific X-ray scattering. This influences the
response of the exposure control device. To compensate for this, recalibration
of the device for the use with CR cassettes could be necessary.

CR 85-X DIGITIZER
Description of the CR cassette
The CR cassette and plate are compatible with existing X-ray tables. The
exposure equipment and routines do not have to be modified when switching
from conventional to digital imaging. Although compatible with existing X-
ray equipment, a CR cassette is quite different from a conventional cassette.
The most important difference lies inside, in the image receptor.
Note: ADC Compact cassettes and ADC 70 cassettes are not interchangeable.
But the same image plates can be used for both.

The main difference lies in the RF-tag memory chip that is permanently
mounted in the cassette. Using the Agfa ID Software you can enter patient
demographics and examination data into the memory chip. The identification
of this data is performed by no-touch radiofrequency tagging via a built-in
antenna card in the CR cassette.

105
CR 85-X DIGITIZER
Image plate
Another difference between a CR cassette and a conventional cassette is the X-
ray sensitive element (image receptor). The latter is no longer a film, but an
image plate that can be re-used thousands of times.
The way in which this image plate is placed into the cassette is of great
importance. The side containing the white phosphor must be oriented
towards the black tube side of the cassette. The support side (back side) is
then oriented towards the red side of the cassette, as shown in the illustration
below.
The ‘clips’ mounted on the cassette prevent the cassette from being opened by
a conventional daylight system such as the Curix Capacity (Plus), so that even
in hybrid conventional/digital departments the occurrence of errors is
avoided.

CR 85-X DIGITIZER
Cleaning the image plate
Please make sure that the CR plate always goes into the same cassette when
cleaning. With the introduction of new initialization codes, it is important
that the CR plate does not end up in a cassette initialized for another code. In
case of doubt, you should re-initialize the cassette using the initialization
code on the CR plate.
Use only AGFA CR Phosphor Plate Cleaner and a soft lint-free cellulose cloth
to clean the plate.
Caution: Do not use the AGFA CR phosphor plate cleaner to clean the CR
MM3.0 Mammo image plates with a batch code starting with the letter “B”
or a number. These CR MM3.0 Mammo image plates require dedicated
wipers. Do not use these wipers to clean non-Mammo plates!
How?
• Moisten the cloth with cleaner and wipe the plate surface softly and evenly
(phosphorous side and rear side).
• Leave the plate surface to dry for about 10 minutes to allow the solvents to
evaporate.
• Clean the cassette thoroughly. Use a dry cloth or blow away possible dust with
compressed air. (DO NOT USE A SCREEN CLEANER TO CLEAN THE INSIDE OF
THE CASSETTE.)
• Once the plate surface is dry (after about 10 minutes), check once again for
particles of material and other impurities before placing the plate in the cassette.
When?
• At least once every month or whenever there is doubt about particles visible on
the X ray images.
• More frequent cleaning is required for CR Mammo plates.
• More frequent cleaning is also required in case of excessive dust or under very
dry conditions. (The screen cleaner contains antistatic agents which reduce
buildup of static charges and dust collection.)

Characteristics
Its luminescence spectrum is the typical Eu2+ -luminescence, which is at
around 390 nm in lattices of the BaFBr-type. The top in the luminescence
spectrum is shifted slightly to longer wavelengths due to the incorporation of
iodide.
The stimulation spectrum is much broader than that of pure BaFBr and is
shifted to longer wavelengths. This shift is caused in the first place by the
partial replacement of Ba by Sr, and in the second place by the incorporation
of iodide. Thanks to the red-shift of the stimulation spectrum, maximum
stimulability is assured at 633 nm, the wavelength of the stimulating laser.
The Agfa phosphor has excellent dark decay characteristics. Two hours after
exposure, approximately 80% of the energy stored upon exposure is still
available. The image retention is greater than 50% up to 24 hours after
irradiation.

Disruptions are possible near
devices that carry the following
symbol:

CR 85-X DIGITIZER
The device uses a short range

device class 1 (7 dBµA/m at 10 m)
with ISM-Band 13.56 MHz).
• REMARK 1: The higher value will apply at 80 MHz and 800 MHz.
• REMARK 2: These Guidelines may not apply to all situations. The dispersion of
electromagnetic waves is influenced by absorption and reflections from buildings,
objects and people.
a.The field strength of stationary transmitters, such as base stations of radio telephones, mobile
broadcasts for rural areas, amateur stations, and AM and FM radio transmitters, cannot be
precisely predetermined theoretically. An investigation of the location is recommended, to
ascertain the electromagnetic environment as a result of stationary high frequency transmitters. If
the field strength of the device exceeds the level of agreement given above, the device must be
observed with regard to its normal operation at each place of use. In case of unusual performance
characteristics, it can be necessary to take additional measures, such as the re-orientation of the
device, for example.
b.The field strength will be lower than 3 V/m above the frequency range from 150 kHz to 80 MHz.

CR 85-X DIGITIZER
This device is intended for operation in an electromagnetic

environment in which the radiated high frequency disturbance
variables are monitored. The user of the device can help to
prevent electromagnetic disruptions by maintaining the
minimum distances between portable and mobile high frequency
communication equipment (transmitters) and the device as
recommended below, in accordance with the maximum output
power of the communications equipment.

The distance can be determined through the equation for each respective column.
P is the rated power of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the manufacturer information on
the transmitter, only for transmitters where the rated power is not mentioned in the above table.
• REMARK 1 : An additional factor of 10/3 has been used to calculate the recommended
protective distance of transmitters in the frequency range from 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz, to reduce
the probability that mobile portable communication equipment unintentionally brought into
the area of the patients will lead to a disruption.
• REMARK 2 : These Guidelines may not be relevant in all situations. The dispersion of
electromagnetic waves is influenced by absorption and reflections from buildings, objects and
people.
