20/20 Imaging 17x48 Long-Length DR Panel

Capture Long-Length Anatomy in a Single Exposure

The 20/20 Imaging 17×48 is designed for imaging applications that extend beyond the field of view of a standard DR detector. By capturing extended anatomy in a single exposure, the detector helps reduce the need for stitched images while simplifying patient positioning and improving workflow for compatible long-length digital radiography systems.

Key Benefits

• 17 × 48-inch active imaging area
• Single-exposure long-length imaging
• Cesium (CsI) scintillator
• Amorphous silicon detector technology
• 139 μm pixel pitch
• 3.6 lp/mm spatial resolution
• Designed for compatible long-length digital radiography systems

The 20/20 Imaging 17×48 combines a long active imaging area with single-exposure image acquisition to streamline examinations that traditionally require multiple exposures and software image stitching.

When a 17 × 48 Long-Length Detector Fits Your Workflow

Capture Extended Anatomy Without Image Stitching

Traditional DR detectors often require multiple exposures to image anatomy that extends beyond the detector’s field of view.

The 17×48 detector captures extended anatomy in a single exposure, making it well suited for full-spine imaging, long-leg alignment studies, scoliosis evaluations, and other long-length examinations while helping reduce workflow associated with stitched images.

Improve Workflow for Standing Long-Length Imaging

Single-exposure imaging reduces repositioning and repeat acquisitions, helping improve workflow while creating a more efficient imaging experience for both patients and technologists during standing radiographic examinations.

Reduce Patient Repositioning

Because the detector captures more anatomy in a single exposure, patients typically require fewer position changes than workflows that depend on multiple stitched images. This helps streamline long-length digital radiography while maintaining consistent anatomical positioning throughout the examination.

Maintain Anatomical Continuity Across Extended Anatomy

Maintaining the anatomical relationship between the spine, pelvis, hips, knees, ankles, or other extended anatomy is often important during long-length radiographic examinations. Capturing the anatomy in a single exposure helps preserve this continuity without relying on stitched acquisitions.

Technologies That Support Long-Length Imaging

Cesium (CsI) Scintillator

The 20/20 Imaging 17×48 uses a Cesium (CsI) scintillator to efficiently convert X-ray energy into digital image data while supporting excellent detector efficiency and image quality.

Amorphous Silicon Detector Technology

The detector incorporates amorphous silicon technology with a 139 μm pixel pitch and 3.6 lp/mm spatial resolution to support detailed long-length digital radiography.

Single-Exposure Long-Length Detector Design

The detector’s 17 × 48-inch active imaging area allows compatible imaging systems to capture extended anatomy in a single exposure rather than combining multiple images through software stitching. This helps simplify long-length digital radiography workflows while preserving anatomical continuity across the entire image.

Compatible Imaging Platforms

The 20/20 Imaging 17×48 is designed for compatible digital radiography systems that support long-length detector integration. Compatibility depends on detector configuration, acquisition software, and the overall imaging system design.

Acquisition Software Designed for the 17×48

The 20/20 Imaging 17×48 integrates with compatible acquisition software to support long-length image acquisition, image enhancement, DICOM communication, image review, and routine digital radiography workflow. Available software capabilities vary depending on the complete imaging system configuration.
