GE’s Exclusive Flat Panel Digital Detector

High image quality at an efficient dose

The acquisition power of GE's Definium® family of digital X-ray imaging systems comes from the patented digital detector. GE's detector combines high image quality and Detector Quantum Efficiency (DQE) to provide dose reduction while enabling advanced clinical applications. A single panel, non-tiled construction helps to eliminate blind zones and the Cesium Iodide technology provides high DQE.

In the low-to-mid spatial frequency, GE digital detectors typically exhibit a clearer image with a more efficient dose when compared to film/screen, computed radiography and flat panel Selenium-based imaging systems. Cesium-iodide captures a wide range of signal intensities to provide higher contrast resolution than a human eye can appreciate.

The GE detector captures the area of interest anywhere within the 41 cm x 41 cm detector surface. The square shape allows faster and easier positioning that can lead to less stress for injured or ill patients. Pre-protocols simplify operation and accommodate additional filters that allow the detector to be used on and reduce dose across patients of all sizes.

With more than 10,000 detectors in use globally, GE's flat panel detector provides reliability an optimized image quality for all digital radiography systems.
