Dental X-Ray Sensor Production

TowerJazz of Migdal Ha’Emeq, Israel, and !%e2v Technologies plc%! of Chelmsford, UK, have announced that e2v has increased the rate of production of its dental x-ray sensors, which incorporate TowerJazz’s 0.18-μm CMOS image sensor technology. The companies will work to create a new generation of system-on-chip sensors that benefit from high image quality and advanced levels of integration and embedded capabilities. Replacing conventional x-ray film, dental intraoral x-ray sensors provide dentists with an instant digital image on a screen rather than on film that must be developed.
