Figure A1-2 Detector operation diagram
Panel
The panel consists of a thin-film amorphous silicon integrated circuit on a glass substrate with a cesium
iodide scintillator. The scintillating material absorbs the x-rays and converts the energy to light. The light
is converted into a charge that is digitized by the detector electronics.
Electronics
The primary function of the readout electronics is to convert the charge into digital image data. This data
is then transmitted to the system workstation through an ethernet connection.
Physical Appearance / Finish
The detector unit is designed to be installable as 1) an external patient access/contact surface and 2) a
non-external patient access/contact surface.
Detector surfaces have been treated with a finish to allow a smooth and easily cleanable surface. Care
shall be taken to protect the surface from scratches.
Nameplates and Markings
A label on the back of the detector contains the GE part number.
