CP1M200
The new Regius cassette plate CP1M200 is the world’s first phosphor needle plate system created especially for mammography.
It offers three main improvements over less advanced technology:
• substantially improved image quality
• much greater visibility of breast lesions
• superior DQE
Crystal Technology. How it works.
Konica Minolta’s innovative column crystal technology is a great leap forward in CR plate design.
Granularity of x-ray images is aggravated by quantum noise in the x-ray. To minimise this effect, we use Caesium Bromide (CsBr) phosphor. With its high absorption coefficient over a comparatively wide x-ray energy area, it is one of the most absorbent materials available today.
The phosphor crystals are formed in columns within the CP1M200, giving a lightguiding effect which reduces scattering of the reading laser beam, as well as enabling photo-stimulated luminescence to be effectively introduced into the photoreceiver. This feature of the technology greatly enhances the image quality of the CR plate.
With minimal deterioration of phosphor from the x-ray beam, the CP1M200’s image quality remains high for a long time.
Superior DQE performance also significantly improves the visibility of breast lesions, while reducing x-ray exposure.
CP1M200 key features
• Superb sharpness, granularity and stability
• Improved contrast at tumour peripheries
• Reduced x-ray dose
• Longer lasting fluorescent substance for longer lasting high image quality
• Crystal Technology improves light-guiding efficiency through reduced scattering of reading laser beam
CP1M200 is compatible with the Regius Model 190, Regius Model 210 and Regius Model 110HQ
