Phosphor storage plate
The PSP stores X-ray energy, which is re-emitted
in the form of light after excitation by the laser.
This light is then converted into image informa-
tion in the phosphor storage plate scanner.
The PSP has an active side and an inactive side.
The PSP must always be exposed on the active
side.
When used properly, a PSP can be exposed,
read and erased several hundred times provided
there is no mechanical damage. The PSP must
be replaced if there are any signs of damage, e.g.
if the protective layer is damaged or there are vis-
ible scratches that could interfere with the diag-
nostics.
