High energy X-ray CMOS flat panel imager

5 September 2007 Test & Measurement

Hamamatsu has released a new CMOS flat panel sensor for digital X-ray imaging applications. The C9321SK-05 consists of a megapixel (1056 x 1056 elements) detector array, each of 50 micron size, to provide a total X-ray sensitive area of roughly 7,5 centimetres.

The X-ray imager utilises a gadox scintillator deposited onto a fibre-optic plate, to provide an effective X-ray shield. This fibre-optic provides both improved image quality (lower X-ray shot noise) and it shields the sensitive CMOS electronics inside the panel, thus giving extended lifetime of 6 million Roentgen guaranteed at 150 kVp.

Compared to previous flat panel sensors, the C9321SK-05 also offers higher frame rates of 9 frames per second at full resolution and the device is capable of realtime imaging at 27 frames per second with 2 x 2 binning. Hamamatsu also supplies a range of sealed and open type microfocus X-ray sources for high-resolution X-ray imaging applications.
