Fiberoptic Components Improve Dynamic Range and Contrast Resolution for Radiography Systems

Medical radiography is undergoing a digital revolution that offers many benefits for radiologists, hospitals, OEMs, and patients:

• Significant improvement in dynamic range and contrast resolution of images provides more accurate diagnosis
• Increased life expectancy for CCD and CMOS sensors
• Digital image enhancement leads to the extraction of more information--and earlier disease detection
• Instant retrieval and transfer of images facilitates consultation
• Lower operating and consumable costs save hospitals money

The digital revolution in medical X-ray imaging relies heavily on INCOM's fiberoptic components. Our faceplates and tapers, when coupled with CCDs, provide better images, reduced radiation exposure to sensors, and lower operating costs.

INCOM’s ability to make the largest tapers and faceplates in the world is opening doors to increasingly larger X-ray sensors for full chest X-rays and whole body scans. The medical market also includes fiberoptic components to advance and enhance arthroscopic digital X-rays, endoscope illuminations, and mammography. INCOM is contributing to the digital radiography revolution, and we endeavor to help OEMs break new ground in product development and OEM/patient benefits.
