Electron-Multiplying CCD Camera in X-ray Imaging

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
A solid-state x-ray image intensifier is used for diagnostic and interventional medical imaging procedures.

Andrew Kuhls-Gilcrist and Stephen Rudin, Toshiba Stroke Research Center

With the onset of improved, patient-specific treatments for vascular disease, along with advancing diagnostic techniques, there is an increasing need for high-resolution images obtainable in real time. Current state-of-the-art medical x-ray image intensifiers have inherent limitations and are being replaced with flat panel detectors. The solid-state x-ray image intensifier prototype consists of a modular array of electron-multiplying CCD camera systems that are modified to image x-rays with an increased field of view (left). Interchangeable components enable task-based optimization of...Read full article
