Canadian digital imaging developer DALSA has launched the first in a new family of x-ray digital detector panels based on complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology, the company said.
DALSA plans to highlight the new product, Xineos-1313, at the upcoming Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) meeting in Chicago. CMOS-based detectors offer numerous advantages, including the ability to record faint image details at higher resolutions, which allows for earlier diagnosis and intervention, and reduced treatment costs, according to DALSA.
In dental applications, DALSA's Xineos-1313-EO is designed to operate at full resolution for both frame-based panoramic imaging at frame rates exceeding 300 frames per second (fps), as well as for medium field-of-view (MFOV) cone-beam CT (CBCT) applications at 30 fps. An optional "sequence memory" enables storing an entire CBCT image sequence inside the detector, eliminating the need for rescans due to data acquisition loss during the actual CBCT scanning procedure.
