CR Portable X-ray System a self-contained computed radiography (CR) imaging scanner/eraser system that utilizes reusable photostimulable or Phosphor Storage Plates (PSP) in place of X-ray film to produce quality digital radiographs. The PSPs should be durable and reusable thousands of times. Upon exposure to X-rays, the plate stores a latent image, which is scanned by the imager. After scanning, the image is processed via a computer running authorized software and should produce an image ready for viewing in seconds. In addition to immediate display of the resultant images, the software allows image enhancement processing, storage (hard drive or CD) and sharing/retrieval. An additional feature should include plate erase function that removes the latent image from the plate immediately after scanning. This design provides an efficient one-operation scanning and erasing process leaving the user with a PSP ready for the next X-ray procedure. The plates should be flexible and of a rugged design. The system should include the following: Hardcase 12 imaging plates System for connecting multiple plates.
