X-ACE 32 – Detection Technology

The X-ACE 32 is the industry's first standard detector series optimized for mainstream medical CT imaging needs. The plug-and play-type solution is available as 32-slice detector cards, and alternatively as a complete subsystem that includes detector modules, X-DCB2 data combiner board, software libraries, and all the necessary accessories. The X-ACE product family is built on a well-proven and modular platform featuring the highest level of integration, with a scintillator, photodiode, analog-to-digital converters (ADC), and a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) assembled to a single printed circuit board (PCB). The platform easily scales from 16-slice to 32-slice system configurations and enables 20 millimeter coverage at the isocenter. The X-ACE series provides high image quality with low doses at fast scanning speeds using a pixelated, ultra-fast ceramic scintillator coupled with a high performance frontside illuminated (FSI) photodiode.
