The ClearVision ExamVue Flat Panel Detector consists of a line of 3 different models of solid state x-ray detectors, of differing size and characteristics, designed for use by radiologists and radiology technicians for the acquisition of digital x-ray images. The ClearVision ExamVue Flat Panel Detector captures digital images of anatomy through the conversion of x-rays to electronic signals, eliminating the need for film or chemical processing to create a hard copy image. The ClearVision ExamVue Flat Panel Detector incorporates the ExamVueDR software, which performs the processing, presentation and storage of the image in DICOM format. All models of the ClearVision ExamVue Flat Panel Detector use aSi TFTD for the collection of light generated by a CsI scintillator, for the purpose of creating a digital x-ray image. The three available models are:a. A 14x17in (35x43cm) tethered cassette sized panelb. A 14x17in (35x43cm) wireless cassette sized panel with automatic exposure detectionc. A 17x17in (43x43cm) tethered panel for fixed installations.
An electrically-powered, cassette-like device intended to be used as part of an x-ray system to detect x-ray images following exposure, and create a digital signal; it is not dedicated to imaging of a specific anatomy. It includes two types of transducing technology (i.e., indirect): a scintillator [e.g. caesium iodide (CsI)] screen converts x-ray energy into light, followed by the conversion of light into a digital signal by photodiode array. The image data can be sent to an appropriate processing unit through a wired or wireless connection (e.g., Wi-Fi). It may be used in place of a fixed detector in x-ray imaging systems, e.g., as part of a digital imaging conversion system.
