PerkinElmer plans to bring several new flat-panel x-ray detectors to the 2014 RSNA meeting in Chicago.
A wired cassette-sized detector designed for digital radiography (DR) applications, XRpad 4343 F features a 100-micrometer pixel pitch, a directly deposited cesium-iodide scintillator, and Automatic Exposure Detection (AED) capability, according to the vendor.
Two other dynamic detectors will be shown as works-in-progress. Dexela 2321 features a 23 x 21-cm, real-time x-ray detector design for use as a component in mobile C-arm and other fluoroscopy systems, PerkinElmer said. It uses a cesium-iodide scintillator and complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor technology.
Another work-in-progress, XRD4343RF, is a 43 x 43-cm detector designed to serve as a component in radiography and fluoroscopy systems, PerkinElmer said.
![Representative example of a 16-year-old male patient with underlying X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. (A, B) Paired anteroposterior (AP) chest radiograph and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) report shows lumbar spine (L1 through L4) areal bone mineral density (BMD). The DXA report was reformatted for anonymization and improved readability. The patient had low BMD (Z score ≤ −2.0). (C) Model (chest radiography [CXR]–BMD) output shows the predicted raw BMD and Z score in comparison with the DXA reference standard, together with interpretability analyses using Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) and gradient-weighted class activation maps. The patient was classified as having low BMD, consistent with the reference standard.
