Instructions for use
Caution!
The x-ray film sensitivity must correspond to the colour of the light emitted by the screen:
- green-emitting cassettes/screens must be used with green-sensitive films
- blue-emitting cassettes/screens must be used with blue-sensitive films
Think about compatibility between films and cassettes/screens!
Maintenance
Regularly check the wear and cleanliness condition of the cassettes.
Any damaged cassette must be replaced.
MSF requirements
Green-emitting intensifying screens offer the same image quality as blue-emitting screens while the radiation duration is twice as short.
