Images are acquired by direct digitization; they are displayed immediately on the AWS monitor and are
stored for later diagnostic review. They can be processed and/or filmed.
AOP (Automatic Optimization of Parameters) and manual setting modes are provided for control of
X-ray parameters; the system provides auto-collimation and other leading features.

Digital Detector and Image Receptor
The Digital Detector is built into the Image Receptor, shown below. It is a flat panel of amorphous
silicon on which cesium iodide is deposited to maximize detection of X-Rays and transmission of light
photons. The high definition digital images produced are sent to the Acquisition Workstation for
visualization and processing.
The upper surface of the Image Receptor is a removable grid (Bucky); when the grid is not required, it
is easily removed and replaced by an optional breast holder without grid.
