Computed Radiography Cassettes

Agfa CR medical cassettes and imaging plates

Agfa CR medical cassettes protect reusable imaging plates during X-ray exposure, transport and handling, then route the exposed plate through Agfa CR digitizers and workstation processing.

Medem supplies the Agfa cassette lines already listed in our catalog: MD1.0, MD4.0, MD4.0T, MD4.0R, HD5.0, HM5.0, MM3.0T and MM3.0R.

Types

How the Agfa CR cassette lines differ

MD1.0 and MD4.x — general radiography

Agfa MD cassettes protect the imaging plate during X-ray exposure, transport and handling, then the exposed plate is scanned by the CR digitizer.

HD5.x — general / FLFS / AEC detector family

HD5.x detectors are described by Agfa for general radiography, Full Leg Full Spine (FLFS) and AEC variants depending on the exact model.

HM5.x and MM3.x — mammography lines

Agfa HM and MM cassette/detector families are positioned for mammography or high-detail workflows and require correct matching plates and cleaning practice.

Matching plate and cassette matters

Agfa documentation stresses that the image plate dedicated to a cassette model should be used with the correct cassette/tray type.
