Flat Panel Detectors

Flat Panel X-Ray Detectors are composed of two principle imaging components. The first imaging element is a scintillator screen that convert the x-rays into visible light. A wide range of scintillation screens and materials are suitable, and most manufacturers offer different screen options. This screen is directly coupled two an array of photosensitive photodiodes which convert the visible light to an electrical charge. This charge can be read out via an array of switches, of Thin Film Transistors (TFTs) and digitised. The digitised values for each photodiode, can be used to generate a corresponding grey level value in single image pixel. Thus the array of photodiodes allow digital radiograph to be captured, each diode, corresponding to a pixel in the radiographic image

Shaw Inspection Systems can supply a range of Flat Panel Detectors from most (if not all) of the leading Manufacturers. Currently, this website details flat panel products from the following manufacturers:
