What is the difference between an x-ray detector and a camera?
Our x-ray detector modules (i.e. the RadEye product line) consist of a CMOS 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 (the Shad-o-Box & Shad-o-Snap 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 (frame grabber or USB), and youre set to start acquiring images.
