Flat-panel detectors are core accessories for X-ray radiography, available in wired and wireless models.
Working Principle
DR flat-panel detectors convert X-rays into visible light via fluorescent materials first, then transform the light signals into electrical signals using photosensitive elements. Finally, analog electrical signals are converted to digital signals through A/D conversion.
Advantages Over Traditional Film Imaging
- Portable & Compact: Only requires a detector and computer—ideal for on-site physical exams (e.g., factory/school screenings during the pandemic) and mobile services.
- Rapid Imaging: No darkroom film development needed; instant imaging reduces medical turnaround time and boosts doctor efficiency.
- Digital Convenience: Enables easy image storage, transmission, and retrieval, facilitating cross-department information synchronization.
Limitation
The primary drawback is high cost, requiring hospitals/clinics to plan purchase budgets in advance.
