Features of CRx25P
Ability to operate in the field

Weighing only 21 kg, the CRx25P scanner is a truly portable computer-based radiography system, designed, in particular, for applications where multiple redeployment is required.

This scanner is suitable for stationary, field and even marine applications in which the overall dimensions are of paramount importance in terms of the environment and the organization of the work process. The lightweight extruded aluminum frame is dent-resistant. Rubber-insulated damping legs minimize vibration while maintaining high image quality. The user can order a durable hard case for the scanner. Additionally, the device can be equipped with a built-in battery for working in almost any environment.

Making responsible decisions on the spot
The new scanner delivers superb quality digital images in seconds. The quality of the images is stable, and the control results are repeatable, which allows you to make responsible decisions in almost real time.

Simple and familiar operating principles
The CRx25P is extremely usable thanks to its tight architectural integration with Rhythm software. The visualization procedures are familiar to the user because the systems are based on traditional film techniques. The process of obtaining high-quality digital images consists of three stages: exposure, insertion and viewing. The digital image is obtained by scanning reusable luminescent memory plates coated with an x-ray phosphor.

When irradiated with x-ray or gamma rays, an image is formed on the plate. After scanning the plate with the CRx25P system, the image can be viewed on the computer in just a few seconds. The quick erase function allows you to erase the images in one continuous cycle so that the plates can be immediately reused. The CRx25P scanner accepts storage plates of all standard sizes up to 35 cm wide, and the guide feeder provides support for long plates when scanning.

Focus on image details
By scanning images to a computer, you can use the Rhythm visualization software that comes with the scanner to enlarge, invert, and sharpen the image. You can also adjust the brightness and contrast of the image, measure the length of line segments and angles. Optional software tools such as Flash! Filters allow you to quickly improve image quality, speeding up the analysis and decision-making process. DICONDE radiographic image standards support storing images and notes in a water file for consistent data management

Profitability and environmental friendliness
By eliminating the need for chemical processing of the film (and associated costs, including storage and disposal), the CRx25P scanner reduces the cost of visualization. In addition, the digital radiographic imaging method helps protect the environment from hazardous chemicals.

Rhythm Software
GE’s Rhythm Radiography Software combines advanced image capture and analysis, as well as data management tools for all X-ray inspection methods, including computer radiography, digital radiography and film digitization. The wide possibilities of data exchange that this application provides provide a significant increase in productivity and the speed of identifying quality problems, allowing you to reduce the percentage of the production sample and increase the efficiency of asset management
