According to FutureWise analysis the market for a-si x-ray flat panel detectors in 2023 is US$ 1.21 billion, and is expected to reach US$ 1.8 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 5.2%.
A-Si X-ray Flat panel detectors (FPD) are advanced imaging devices used in digital radiography (DR) for the conversion of X-rays to light (indirect conversion) or charge (direct conversion), which is read out using a thin film transistor (TFT) array. These detectors have primarily replaced traditional X-ray film which are essential for medical diagnostics. Amorphous silicon (a-Si) flat panel (FP) detectors exhibit detector lag that affects projection images in fluoroscopy and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) reconstructions. Detector lag is defined as a signal present in frames followed by the frame in which it was generated. In fluoroscopy, lag causes temporal blurring and reduces temporal resolution. For a-Si FP detectors designed for mixed radiography and fluoroscopy applications, lag can cause severe ghosting of the high-dose radiography image during low-dose fluoroscopy. In CBCT reconstructions, detector lag can lead to image artifacts such as streaking, blurring, and severe shading artifacts, referred to here as the radar artifact.
Real-time X-ray imaging systems are used for a broad spectrum of clinical applications. Such systems range from mobile X-ray systems for surgery and over- and under-table fluoroscopy systems (e.g., for gastrointestinal tract examinations) to angiography systems equipped for diagnosing vessel pathologies and minimally invasive treatment. Moreover, the field of angiography includes unique techniques for cardiology and neurology. The image intensifier, the technology of choice for these systems, has matured over the past decades, allowing for high-quality X-ray examinations and interventions. The X-ray dose required for examinations or interventions was successively reduced, decreasing at the same time the X-ray exposure to both patient and user. Therefore, all new detector technologies are measured against the quality standard established by image intensifiers.
