In today’s digital healthcare landscape, speed, clarity, and efficiency are no longer optional—they’re essential. Medical imaging professionals across hospitals, clinics, and veterinary centers are upgrading their analog X-ray systems to digital radiography (DR) to enhance diagnostic precision, patient throughput, and operational workflow. Among the many options available, one detector stands out: the RadiSen 1417M.
The RadiSen 1417M, also known as PEDRA‑1417M, is a cassette-sized 14×17-inch digital flat panel detector that bridges the gap between traditional film-based radiography and high-speed digital image acquisition. Engineered for both human and veterinary radiology applications, the RadiSen 1417M provides a reliable, high-resolution, and cost-effective upgrade path to modern DR systems.
Why the RadiSen 1417M is a Game-Changer for Imaging Professionals
Upgrading to a DR system can be a complex and costly process. Many facilities are faced with aging CR systems or manual film workflows that slow down diagnostics and increase exposure. The RadiSen 1417M flat panel detector was developed specifically to remove these barriers by offering plug-and-play compatibility, Auto Exposure Detection (AED), and cassette-sized design that fits seamlessly into existing bucky trays.
Key Reasons Why Medical Professionals Choose the RadiSen 1417M:
✅ Seamless integration into current X-ray rooms without major equipment changes
✅ Advanced imaging with pixel pitch of 127–140 μm and resolution up to 3.9 lp/mm
✅ Option of CsI or Gadox scintillator for dose sensitivity or cost-efficiency
✅ AED technology ensures hands-free exposure synchronization
✅ Lightweight (≈3.4 kg) and highly durable—ideal for daily clinical use
✅ Cost-effective digital upgrade with minimal training required
Technical Excellence at the Core
The RadiSen 1417M offers the imaging power and reliability of high-end systems while maintaining simplicity for radiology staff. The detector’s 14×17-inch active area conforms to ISO 4090 cassette standards, meaning it can be dropped into any existing X-ray system that currently uses film or CR cassettes.
Imaging Performance:
- Pixel Pitch: 127 or 140 μm (model dependent)
- Resolution: ~3.9 lp/mm spatial resolution
- Pixel Matrix: Approximately 3,072 × 3,072 or 3,300 × 2,800
- Grayscale: 16-bit A/D conversion with 65,536 gray levels
- Detector Weight: ~3.4–3.5 kg
- Dimensions: 460 × 460 × 15 mm (standard cassette size)
- Scintillator Choices: CsI:Tl for low-dose or Gd₂O₂S:Tb for cost control
Perfect for Multiple Use Cases
The RadiSen 1417M digital flat panel detector is not limited to just hospital environments. It shines in outpatient imaging centers, veterinary hospitals, dental imaging, orthopedic practices, and even mobile radiology clinics. Thanks to its optional wired and wireless connectivity, it adapts to fixed-room or portable configurations.
Recommended Applications:
- 🏥 General radiography (chest, spine, abdomen, limbs)
- 🐾 Veterinary imaging (equine, canine, feline)
- 🦴 Orthopedic clinics (bone, joint, and musculoskeletal exams)
- 🚐 Mobile X-ray services
- 🧍 Emergency rooms (trauma, rapid diagnostics)
- 🔄 Retrofit analog-to-digital transitions
AED: Auto Exposure Detection for Streamlined Workflows
One of the most valued features of the RadiSen 1417M is its Auto Exposure Detection (AED) system. With AED, the detector automatically senses when an X-ray is fired, syncing image capture without requiring manual exposure control or wiring to the generator. This plug-and-play capability dramatically simplifies installation and reduces technical overhead.
Image Clarity and Dose Efficiency
In diagnostic imaging, resolution and clarity are essential for detecting pathology, monitoring treatment, or planning surgical intervention. The RadiSen 1417M’s high pixel density and 16-bit grayscale ensure sharp visuals with high contrast and low noise.
If low radiation dose is a priority—particularly for pediatrics or repeat exams—the CsI:Tl scintillator version of the 1417M is ideal. It offers greater efficiency in photon capture, reducing dose without sacrificing image quality. Meanwhile, facilities with tight budgets may opt for the Gadox version, which delivers solid performance at a lower price point.
Easy Implementation, Low Maintenance
Transitioning to digital imaging doesn’t need to mean tearing out old infrastructure or investing in entirely new rooms. The RadiSen 1417M can be installed within minutes in most standard bucky trays or mobile units.
With user-friendly software, intuitive image management, and broad compatibility with DICOM PACS systems, the detector is designed for long-term use with minimal training or maintenance burden.
Package Inclusions:
- Flat panel detector (wired or wireless)
- Power supply and control unit
- AED synchronization module
- Image acquisition software with DICOM compatibility
- Calibration files and operator manual
