The X-Panel 1717z FDM answers the industry need for larger detectors with improved cost-performance and represents a major advancement in dental imaging technology. By integrating IGZO-TFT technology and a large 17 cm x 17 cm image area, the company has opened up new possibilities for CBCT and panoramic imaging.
“We are proud to introduce the X-Panel 1717z FDM, featuring the largest active area and fastest frame rate in its class. By leveraging the power of IGZO-TFT technology, we are able to offer dental OEMs a comprehensive solution that combines a wide field of view, superior image quality, fast frame rates and reduced patient exposure, ultimately improving diagnostic capabilities.” “We are excited to be working with NVIDIA to bring the NVIDIA GPU to market in a new way,” said Tuomas Holma, director of product management for Detection Technology's medical business unit.
Key features of the X-Panel 1717z FDM include:
- Wide imaging area: With a vast active area of 17 cm x 17 cm, the X-Panel 1717z FDM allows multiple field of view options to accommodate diverse clinical applications.
- Fast Frame Rate: This detector offers a frame rate of 35 frames per second (1×1), reducing motion artifacts and speeding up scans for improved diagnostic efficiency.
- Integrated Panorama ImageThe X-Panel 1717z FDM eliminates the need for a separate panoramic sensor and delivers seamless panoramic images at speeds of over 300 frames per second for clearer images.
- Excellent low dose performance: Utilizing IGZO-TFT technology, the detector delivers superior low-dose performance without compromising image quality, while keeping patient safety a top priority.
With a pixel size of 111 µm, a pixel matrix of 1536 x 1536, and multiple gain modes, this detector solution offers unmatched versatility and performance in dental imaging. Engineers evaluating this product will appreciate its compatibility with both Windows and Linux based operating systems, as well as its seamless integration into existing imaging systems.
“With this launch, we further expand our IGZO-TFT portfolio for dental imaging. In addition, we are now also selling another large FOV flat panel detector for CBCT. The X-Panel 3030z FDM-TG-X features an imaging area size of 30 cm x 30 cm, a 99 µm pixel size and a speed of 40 fps at full image resolution and 200 fps with 8 mm panoramic strips.”
“We are well on our way to creating a complete portfolio of IGZO-TFT and CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) detectors for dental imaging. Our CMOS-based 2D sensors are optimized for panoramic and cephalometric imaging. Offering consistent products based on both technologies ensures that we always find what's best for our customers. This is what sets us apart from our competitors.”
These and other TFT flat panels are currently available for purchase worldwide.
