Large Area CMOS X-ray Sensors
for Medical Imaging
Our SkiaGraph cameras build upon a tiled configuration of our RadEye100 x-ray image sensors
to achieve a total active sensing area of 8" x 8" (20 x 20 cm) and larger. The cameras feature low
power consumption, high resolution, excellent DQE, and the same flexible readout modes as their
predecessors, the Shad-o-BoxTM and Shad-o-SnapTM product lines.
The SkiaGraph8 camera is capable of real-time imaging at up to 1.4 fps, 12-bit digital contrast
resolution, 5 Ip/mm spatial resolution and features a choice of scintillators providing impressive
sensitivity as high as 250 ADU/mR. A GdOS (Gadox) integrated direct-contact scintillator converts
x-ray photons into visible light that is sensed by the CMOS photodiodes. Analog signals from the
photodiode sensors are subsequently digitized in eight or more parallel A/D channels and then
interleaved for maximum transmission across a high-speed parallel digital interface.
The SkiaGraph8 is optimized for the standard 10-50 kV energy range. An EV model for use with
higher x-ray energies or dose rates will be available in early 2009. Several scintillator options are
available. The SkiaGraph8 camera ships with a desktop power supply and ShadoCam software.
