The flat panel detector is the heart of any digital X-ray system — and the component that most directly determines image quality, patient dose, and system uptime.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my flat panel detector is failing?
Early signs include increasing pixel dropout clusters visible in QC phantom images, shading or non-uniformity that persists after recalibration, and intermittent detector communication errors.
Can a refurbished FPD be recalibrated at my facility?
Yes — most DR systems have built-in calibration routines that can be run by a biomedical engineer or qualified service technician.
What warranty do you offer on flat panel detectors?
All flat panel detectors carry a 30-day functional warranty covering performance failures under normal operating conditions.
