AeroDR® Glassless Flat Panel Detectors

AeroDR Glassless Flat Panel Detectors use a thin film instead of a glass substrate to achieve lighter weight. Removing the glass reduces the distance between the scintillator and the TFT to increase sensitivity. The electronics are optimized to reduce electrical noise. Additionally, the AeroDR Glassless Product Line is offered in a High-Definition (HD) option, which offers enhanced detail at 100μ. The High Dynamic Range option that provides a 200μ resolution for a wider range of tone variations to visualize tissue.

The glass substrate was substituted with a thin film transistor (TFT).

AeroDR Glassless Flat Panel Detectors utilize a thin film instead of a glass substrate, making them lighter. This glassless design reduces the distance between the scintillator and the TFT, enhancing sensitivity. The electronics are optimized to minimize electrical noise.

Additionally, the AeroDR Glassless Product Line features a High-Definition (HD) option that delivers enhanced detail at 100μ. There is also a High Dynamic Range option, offering 200μ resolution for a broader range of tone variations to better visualize tissue.
