Can flat panel detectors be used for both 2D and 3D imaging applications?

Flat panel detectors (FPDs) are versatile and can be used for both 2D and 3D imaging applications in medical imaging. In 2D applications, FPDs function similarly to traditional X-ray film or image intensifiers, capturing radiographic images for diagnostic purposes. When applied to 3D imaging, FPDs are utilized in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and other volumetric imaging techniques. In CBCT, the FPD rotates around the patient, capturing a series of 2D X-ray images from different angles. These images are then reconstructed into a 3D volumetric dataset, providing detailed anatomical information. The ability of FPDs to perform both 2D and 3D imaging makes them valuable in various medical fields, including dentistry, interventional radiology, and orthopedics, where a combination of modalities is often needed for comprehensive diagnostic assessment. We are a manufacturer of X-ray machines and their accessories.
