The AKT1717X is a high-performance 17×17-inch wired flat panel detector developed by ArKang, engineered for precision medical and veterinary radiographic imaging. This flat panel detector integrates advanced amorphous silicon (a-Si) technology with a direct deposition CsI scintillator, delivering exceptional image quality while minimizing patient radiation exposure. Equipped with reliable Automatic Exposure Detection (AED), 16-bit ADC, and GigE high-speed data transmission, it serves as a core component for high-end DR systems—supporting seamless clinical workflows and accurate diagnostic outcomes. As a complete solution, it includes dedicated imaging software and comes with an 18-month warranty, ensuring long-term reliability for healthcare facilities.
Core Features and Advantages
-
Superior Image Quality with Low Radiation Dose
This flat panel detector features a 139 μm pixel pitch and 16-bit ADC, capturing fine anatomical details with high spatial resolution (3.6 lp/mm). The direct deposition CsI scintillator optimizes light conversion efficiency, ensuring excellent Detective Quantum Efficiency (DQE) across all frequencies—this not only produces crisp, low-noise images but also reduces radiation exposure for patients and operators, a critical advantage for routine and sensitive clinical applications.
-
Stable AED Control for Intelligent Workflows
Integrated with reliable Automatic Exposure Detection (AED), the AKT1717X flat panel detector automatically triggers imaging based on optimal exposure parameters. This eliminates manual adjustments, reduces the need for retakes, and ensures consistent image quality across diverse patient types (e.g., adults, pediatrics, veterinary subjects). The intelligent workflow design enhances technician efficiency and shortens patient waiting times.
-
High-Speed Wired Data Transmission
Leveraging a Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) interface, this flat panel detector enables fast, stable image transfer—critical for high-throughput clinical environments. Unlike wireless alternatives, the wired connection avoids signal interference, ensuring uninterrupted data flow to workstations or PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems) for real-time review and diagnosis.
-
Compact, Durable Design for Clinical Versatility
With dimensions of 460 × 460 × 15 mm and a weight of ~4.0 kg, the AKT1717X flat panel detector features a space-saving, lightweight design that fits seamlessly into standard bucky trays (compliant with ISO 4090). Its robust construction (aluminum-magnesium alloy and high-grade plastic) withstands daily clinical use, while operating reliably in temperatures ranging from 5–35°C and humidity levels of 30–80% (non-condensing).
-
Complete Turnkey Solution
The AKT1717X flat panel detector comes as a fully integrated solution, including dedicated imaging software that supports image acquisition, post-processing, and export. Paired with an 18-month warranty, this package eliminates the need for separate software purchases and provides peace of mind for healthcare facilities investing in digital radiography upgrades.
