title: Computed radiography: photostimulable phosphor image plate technology.
abstract: Computed radiography is emerging as a digital imaging modality for use in conventional radiography. It is based on photostimulable phosphor image plate technology. The image plate (IP) is housed in a cassette similar to a standard radiographic cassette. The IP phosphor retains a latent image of the energy pattern to which it was exposed. This latent image is "read" as it is released from the phosphor by laser light exposure. The image is laser printed on 10 in x 14 in film.
