What is the difference between an x-ray detector module and a camera?
X-ray detector modules (i.e. the RadEye product line) consist of an image sensor packaged together with a scintillator and a protective cover. This is analogous to the CCD chip inside a CCD camera. You need to supply power, a reference voltage and clock signals, and then digitize the analog output signal(s) for acquisition into a PC. Our digital x-ray cameras ( Shad-o-Box, Shad-o-Snap , SkiaGraph, XR-4 product lines) combine a detector module along with camera electronics and shielding to provide a compact, easy-to-use imaging system. Simply connect a power supply and a data cable (LVDS frame grabber, GigE, or USB), and you’re set to start acquiring images.
