X-ray flat panel detector
An X-ray flat panel detector converts X-rays into a digital image, replacing film or CR plates. It is used in fixed and mobile radiography, retrofit upgrades of analogue rooms, and in some fluoroscopy, dental and veterinary systems.
Common types
- Caesium iodide (CsI) scintillator: higher sensitivity, allowing lower dose.
- Gadolinium oxysulphide (GOS) scintillator: lower cost with somewhat lower sensitivity.
- Wireless cassette size detector: fits standard bucky trays and moves between rooms.
- Fixed tethered detector: built into a table or wall stand.
- Dynamic detector: supports fluoroscopy frame rates.
What to tell us when you ask for a quotation
- Active area size, for example 35 x 43 cm or 43 x 43 cm.
- Scintillator type and pixel pitch.
- Wired or wireless, battery life and IP rating.
- Load rating and drop resistance for bedside use.
- Generator interface type and acquisition software.
- Compatibility with the existing X-ray system and PACS.
- Quantity, destination country and the delivery terms you want (for example EXW, FOB or CIF).
Documents to ask for
Buyers ask for CE marking under the EU MDR or US FDA clearance, destination country registration, ISO 13485 for the maker and IEC 60601-1 test reports. A DICOM conformance statement for the acquisition software is usually requested.
Certificates and registrations belong to the product and its manufacturer. We check them with you against the rules of your market before any order.
Will a detector work with our existing X-ray generator?
Most retrofit detectors work with older generators through automatic exposure detection or a hardware sync cable. Give the generator make, model and age so compatibility can be confirmed before ordering.
Send us the specification and quantity. We compare manufacturers in China and reply with options, lead times and the documents that come with each product. NJMC sources and checks; it does not manufacture.
