Designed for surgical and interventional C-arms, the new Pixium Surgical 2630 digital X-ray detector is ready to run a minute after being turned on. It features several operating modes from 30 to 100 images/second, meeting the requirements for different applications, including surgery, orthopedics, pediatrics, high-end vascular, cardiovascular, and neurologic interventions.

Based on cesium iodide technology (Pixium CsI), the Pixium Surgical 2630 detector features exceptional X-ray absorption capacity and delivers high quality distortion-free images in real time. It supports three-dimensional (3D) views when needed by specific applications.

The CMOS Six 650 digital X-ray detector for mini C-arms is a new flat-panel digital detector featuring a very compact design. It is intended for mini C-arms used especially for orthopedic surgery. It is small and light, making the system easy to manipulate for all required exam angles.

The SiX 650 F is based on smart complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology, which offers key benefits for both the patient and the practitioner: outstanding sensitivity at low dose, fast image acquisition, and high resolution. It includes real-time preprocessing, delivering clean images.

The SiX 650 F was designed for easy integration in X-ray systems. Supplied with its control software, it features a standard CameraLink interface. Both detctors were developed by the Thales Group (Neuilly-sur-Seine, France)
