4343W/4336W-G5/2530W-G5 X-ray Detectors
10.0 Description of the X-ray Detectors
The X-ray detectors are lightweight and wireless designed for medical and veterinary use. The
X-ray detector together with the Varex Smart Panel (software is designed for integration into an
X-ray system. The VSP is the interface between the X-ray detector and the Client PC; such as
control, image acquisition and calibration.
The X-ray detectors fit into standard bucky trays and the wireless communication enables easy
migration between table and other physical applications.
The wireless access point is the interface between the X-ray detector and the imaging system and
may be mounted in an equipment enclosure, or it may also be wall or ceiling mounted to
maximize wireless signal strength. A Service Cable is supplied with the 4343W to allow for
set-up of the wireless interface and to retrieve images from the X-ray detector in case of failed
wireless transmission. A Tether Cable is provided with the 4336W-G5 and 2530W-G5 to provide
power and allows operation of the X-ray detector through a wired interface.
During operation, the X-ray detector is often draped or bagged to ensure cleanliness and
sterilization. It is manipulated such that the X-ray detector’s input window is located near, but
on the opposite side of the patient, from the X-ray source.

imaging system.
