Digital imaging developer DALSA of Waterloo, Ontario has signed an agreement with Rad-icon Imaging of Santa Clara, CA, to develop digital radiography components using Rad-icon's large-area complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology.
The companies believe that Rad-icon's technology will enable the firms to produce digital x-ray detectors that are lower in cost than those already on the market.
Rad-icon has already produced a 50 x 50-mm detector, which is suitable for spot mammography and some bone densitometry applications. The firms believe they can produce detectors as large as 18 x 24 cm, which would enable the panels to be used in a wide range of medical imaging applications.
