What is the essential difference between an image intensifier and a flat panel detector?

What is the essential difference between an image intensifier and a flat panel detector? This is a problem we often encounter in our communication with customers. It may not be a problem for people who are often in contact with medical imaging systems, but for ordinary people, the essential difference between image intensifiers and flat panel detectors is that need to answer. Let’s talk briefly today.
Image intensifiers and flat panel detectors are both important components of DRX ray machines, but their roles are completely different.
Let’s talk about the image intensifier first, the function of the image intensifier, we can understand it literally, it is a device that enhances the intensity of X-rays, and can use a lower radiation dose to achieve the image clarity required by normal medical care.
Let’s talk about the role of the flat panel detector, which is an important medium in digital photography. After passing through the human body, the X-ray is irradiated on the flat panel detector, and the flat panel detector converts the X-ray signal into a digital signal and sends it to the image workstation.
I believe that after this small article, you will be able to distinguish the essence of image intensifiers and flat panel detectors.
