“Our surgical imaging solutions offer versatile options with both amorphous silicon (a-Si) and IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide) technology-based detectors,” explained Tuomas Holma, Director of Product Management at Detection Technology.
“For example, we have the X-Panel 2121a FDM, featuring a 200 µm pixel size a-Si-TFT design, and the X-Panel 2323z FDM with a 148 µm pixel IGZO-TFT, both ideal for image intensifier replacement. At the top of our surgical imaging and CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) range, the X-Panel 3030z FDM-TG-X, equipped with a 99 µm pixel and a 10 G Ethernet interface, delivers rapid 40 fps (1x1) imaging.”
For fluoroscopy, Detection Technology’s offerings include the X-Panel 4343a FRM with 140 µm a-Si-TFT and the X-Panel 4343z FDM with a 140 µm pixel IGZO-TFT, capable of operating at 40 fps (1x1). The portfolio also extends to a-Si and IGZO detectors for dental imaging, oncology, and portable digital radiography.
Beyond flat panel detectors, Detection Technology is showcasing its off-the-shelf CT (Computed Tomography) detector solutions for all medical modalities. The comprehensive CT range includes the X-ACE 16 HD, a value-oriented solution; the X-ACE 32 for mainstream imaging; and the high-performance X-Tile for advanced volumetric CT systems.
Our CT portfolio delivers lower radiation doses, faster scans, and superior imaging for an enhanced patient experience. Designed for quicker time-to-market and cost savings, it offers a reliable, one-stop solution built on trusted platforms—because in health and safety, only the most dependable solutions are acceptable.”

Detection Technology is also providing a glimpse into the future of imaging technology with its exploration of photon-counting CT (PCCT) detectors, a promising advancement in imaging accuracy and detail.
“Photon-counting CT represents a transformative leap in imaging technology, offering unprecedented detail and accuracy. It’s a groundbreaking advancement that will empower clinicians with deeper insights and elevate patient care to new levels. We aim to lead the way in photon-counting CT and other next-generation imaging technologies.”
