KA Imaging Prepares to Enter the Health Care Market With Revolutionary Digital X-Ray Detector

Canadian manufacturer KA Imaging has managed to overcome the challenge of having soft-tissue differentiation and single exposure featured in the same digital X-ray detector. The company plans to present Reveal™ to the Health Care market next year. Reveal™ is the world’s first portable digital detector capable of separating different energy levels.

Using only one exposure with a conventional X-ray source, KA’s detector can present three types of images: traditional DR, soft tissue and bone. “Our patented technology eliminates the motion artifact problem often seen in traditional dual exposure dual-energy X-Ray imaging systems and it’s portable”, explains Dr. Karim S Karim, CTO at KA Imaging. According to Karim, the detector also enables DR images with very high DQE (detective quantum efficiency) allowing for low radiation exposures to the patient.
