X-ray cassetes

KODAK X-OMAT Cassettes

Full contact of screens with the film is ensured by special design of the cassette flaps. Each KODAK cassette consists of two bent panels, which at the time of closing are straightening out pushing out the air. In closed condition the continuity of the film contact with the screens is maintained by the layer of special elastic polymer, located under each screen.

Light weight in combination with the rigidity ensures reduced fatigue of materials and improved performance. One-lock design is an unconditional convenient feature at the time of operation (the cassette can be opened with one hand).

Robust design - despite the light weight KODAK cassettes, due to antishock materials used in production of edges and corners of the cassette, are characterized by significant rigidity. Metal hinges and lock have long service life and do not need repair within the whole service life. Front panel of the cassette is made of special material with low absorption properties which is necessary for examinations with low KV value.

The following sizes of cassettes are available:



18х24

24х30

18х43

30х40

35х35

35х43



Types of cassettes:

Х-Омат С1-  cassette with a window for identification chamber

Х-Омат С2- cassette without a window for identification chamber

KODAK X-omat cassettes are equipped with KODAK Lanex orthochromatic intensifying screens

KODAK Lanex orthochromatic screens based on gadolinium oxysulfide have the following advantages as compared to standard blue-emitting screens based on calcium tungstate: radiation stability; increased absorption efficiency, ensuring luminophor ability to absorb x-ray beams; increased efficiency of conversion of x-ray beams into light energy (4 time better than the screens based on calcium tungstate); minimum hygroscopity; minimum rise and afterglow time.  

Significantly improved structural and definition properties of the screens (mean square granularity, resolution capability, frequency-contrast characteristic) thanks to denser luminophor grain packing, achieved by means of application of monodispersed crystals with crystallographically regular shape.  

There are several types of screens of Lanex series for any type of radiographic examinations.
