1.1 Principle
CareView 1500Cw is a kind of wireless portable digital X-ray flat panel detectors which
have 434mm×355mm imaging area. The device communicates by not only the wireless
The device intercepts X-ray photons and then the scintillator emits visible spectrum
photons that illuminate an array of photo detectors (a-Si) that create electrical signals.
After the electrical signals are generated, it is converted to a digital value and an image
