2 Introduction
PEDRA 1417M detector is a digital X-ray flat panel detector which has 35 ㎝ x 43 ㎝ imaging area and com-
municates with wired and wifi communication feature, Giga-bit Ethernet communication method through
connecting a tether cable and wifi router. The device intercepts x-ray photons and the scintillator emits visible
spectrum photons that illuminate an array of photo (a-SI)-detector that creates electrical signals. After the
electrical signals are generated, it is converted to digital values, and the images will be displayed on the monitor.
This device should be integrated with an operating PC and an X-Ray generator. It can digitalize x-ray images and
transfer them for radiography diagnostics. Advanced digital image processing allows considerably efficient
diagnosis, all kinds of information management, and sharing of image information on network.
2.1 Features
The shape of the detector, which is identical to that of a conventional film cassette complying with ISO4090,
enables digital radiography in the existing analog radiography configuration.
The new sensor with 143 μm of pixel pitch and CsI (Cesium Iodide) / GdOS (Gadolinium Oxysulfide)used for
the scintillator produces high-resolution digital images within the effective imaging area (CsI: 350 x 430
㎜) with low doses of X-rays.
Depending on the operating conditions at each site, the wiring unit (optional) enables the equipment to be
used through expansion to a wired connection.
Wireless LAN communication (IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n) includes thin detector that is easy to handle.
At the time of installation, set a specific channel in the double frequency band of 2.4 ㎓/5 ㎓ before using
the LAN. Note that the available frequency band for this standard varies depending on the local radio laws,
regulations, and system requirements.
2.2 Intended use
The PEDRA 1417M detector is indicated for digital imaging solution designed for general radiographic
system for human anatomy. It is intended to replace film or screen based radiographic system in all
general-purpose diagnostic procedures. It is not to be used for mammography.
