A new high resolution X-Ray detector with high X-ray absorption and contrast sensitivity that can improve the accuracy of diagnostics is launched at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA 2015).
The detector, the latest in a family of advanced CMOS X-Ray detectors, provides low-dose, high-resolution, high-speed imaging, and supports Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT), and Flat Field Digital Mammography (FFDM).
Teledyne DALSA (Waterloo, ON, Canada), a global leader in digital X-Ray image sensing technology, developed the new Xineos-2329 mammography Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) detector. The Xineos family of breast-imaging detectors feature a high dynamic range, switchable saturation dose, and low dose signal-to-noise performance, and can help clinicians diagnosis and treat medical anomalies earlier.
The Xineos-2329 detector features high resolution at 49.5 µm pixel size, real-time image processing, and the lowest noise performance compared to competitors. The detector also supports static and dynamic imaging modalities, and has good environmental stability.
Teledyne DALSA will also showcase the Xineos-2222 HS and Xineos-3030 HS high-speed detectors with 152 µm pixel size for surgical and cardio vascular procedures, the Xineos-2022 HR and Xineos-3030 HR high-resolution detectors with 99 µm pixel size for clinical and scientific applications, the new Xineos-1501 and Xineos-2301 ultrafast scanning detectors with 99 µm pixel size and 300 fps at full-resolution sampling, the new Xineos-1511 medium-sized detector with 99 µm pixel size, and the Xineos-1515 with switchable saturation dose for both high-dynamic range and high sensitivity.
