(Nanowerk Spotlight) Medical imaging faces a persistent challenge: creating X-ray detectors that combine high sensitivity with practical usability. Current technology forces an uncomfortable trade-off ...
Gamma-ray detectors are typically of two types: scintillators and semiconductors. Scintillator-based detectors allow for comparatively straightforward manufacturing of large detectors but offer ...
Detection Technology, a global leader in X-ray detector solutions, has launched indium gallium zinc oxide thin-film transistor (IGZO-TFT) flat panel detectors (FPD) to enhance dental imaging. The new ...
