What is Amorphous Silicon (a-Si) Flat Panel Digital Radiography (DR) technology?
It is based on a digital flat panel detector, which unlike traditional film or Phosphor plate replacements, can provide instantaneous digital readout of an X-ray image providing the operator with “real time” images, or what we call “image upon request”. The operator does not have to change film or Phosphor plates in between shots, and no development or scanning time is required. The image is available a couple of seconds after the X-ray is fired and it immediately appears on the computer monitor providing instantaneous results.
