14x17in (35x43cm) Fuji CR Imaging Plate (Type ST-VI)

The Fuji Imaging Plate (IP) is an entirely new X-ray image recording medium that replaces today's conventional film/screen systems. The Imaging Plate is the world's first photostimulable phosphor put to practical use as a recording medium.

The IP accurately detects X-ray information and stores it as energy within the phosphor particles. It offers high sensitivity, high sharpness, low noise radiographs for diagnosis by utilizing a high-emission photostimulable phosphor.

Further, because the photostimulated luminescence is remarkably linear to the X-ray exposure over a very wide range, any single Imaging Plate accommodates a broad sensitivity spectrum from high sensitivity (low dosage) to low sensitivity (high dosage) making it possible to tailor exposures to suit particular diagnostic needs.

Using a Fuji Imaging Plate, a Computed Radiography System image processor allows contrast modification, spatial frequency processing and other image processing operations to yield quality radiographs of high diagnostic value. This opens up a whole new range of diagnostic possibilities.
