Development of a Wireless Cassette Digital Radiography Detector: the AeroDR
2011
Over the years, digitalization in X-ray photography has greatly progressed, with the number of annual shipments of CR (computed radiography) units today totaling over 20,000 units. In recent years, the DR (digital radiography) market has rapidly expanded due to the addition of portable DR cassettes to existing built-in DR detectors. Forecasting the trend toward portable DR cassettes and thoroughly investigating what these products would require, we developed the AeroDR, a cassette DR detector which can be used in both wired and wireless systems. The AeroDR is a highly complete system in which various technologies, which are appropriate to X-ray photography using a cassette, are combined and harmonized. These include the intimate contact between the columnar CsI (cesium iodide) scintillator and the sensor panel for fine sharpness, the world’s lightest cassette case of all wireless X-ray detectors while providing exceptional mechanical strength, and a novel battery with power-saving technology.
