  • METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE QUALITY OF AN IMAGING PLATE AND IMAGING PLATE SCANNER THEREFOR
    Publication number: 20240118436
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the quality of an imaging plate, comprising the steps of carrying out an exposure of the imaging plate, carrying out a scan of the imaging plate in order to determine an image, determining a signal-to-noise ratio of the image or/and carrying out edge recognition on the image and calculating a quality value of the imaging plate on the basis of the signal-to-noise ratio of the image or/and on the basis of the recognized edge structure. Furthermore, the invention relates to an imaging plate scanner for carrying out such a method.

  • Device for Reading Storage Films
    Publication number: 20120256100
    Abstract: In a reading device for reading storage films, a reading light beam rotating about an axis of rotation is directed onto the storage film through a reading opening of a film support. Fluorescent light returning from the storage film falls through the reading opening into a photodetector. Misreadings produced by reflected secondary reading light are reduced by the provision of a filter at the reading opening, which filter allows at least some fluorescent light to pass and attenuates reading light reflected from the storage film.
