Teledyne DALSA’s Rad-icon product family of large-area digital x-ray
cameras offers users a high-speed, high-performance x-ray imagingdetector with a fast, reliable PC interface (either GigE or Camera Link)
for easy integration. The Rad-icon product line leverages Teledyne
DALSA’s advanced CMOS image sensing technology, which enables
the delivery of low-dose x-ray images and yields higher image quality
than a-Si flat panels and image intensifier devices. The detectors in thisproduct line are capable of frame rates up to 30 fps, and communicate
via a standard Cat6e or Camera Link data cable over lengths up to100m.(1)Rad-icon detectors are available with different Gd2O2S (GadOx)scintillator options to address a range of resolution and sensitivity
requirements. The camera interface allows easy access to features
such as adjusting the frame rate, single and multiple frame acquisitions,and control of advanced timing modes. Each detector ships with userfriendly software tools for stand-alone operation or easy integration withyour application software.
(1) Max. cable length for CameraLink models is 7 m.

Resolution & Sensitivity
The Rad-icon detectors are designed to work with x-ray sources operating at a wide range of kVp settings.
X-ray energies as low as 10-15 keV can be detected. The cameras can be used with x-ray energies as high as
225kV, although we recommend the use of additional shielding and/or collimation at higher energies in order toprotect the sensor element and electronics from damage.
The pixel spacing of each camera model determines the limiting resolution of the sensor. The actual Modulation
Transfer Function (MTF) of the detector depends on the type of scintillator that is installed. A thicker phosphor
screen will produce more signal, but at the expense of high-frequency contrast. Typical MTF curves for the twostandard scintillator options are shown in the graph below.

SoftwareEach Rad-icon detector ships with our ShadoCam Imaging application, Teledyne DALSA’s CamExpert softwareand a Gigabit Ethernet driver (if applicable). The software is compatible with Windows 7, 8 and 10. Check withyour sales representative for compatibility with other Windows versions or with the Linux operating system. The
Ethernet models can be connected on a network, but for optimal performance a dedicated network adapter ishighly recommended.
For writing custom applications to acquire images from the detector, we recommend using Teledyne DALSA’s
Sapera Essential, or the Sapera LT SDK (free download available at
http://www.teledynedalsa.com/imaging/products/software/sapera/lt/).

Ordering Information
Rad-icon detectors are available in a single, industrial image quality grade (blemish specification available onrequest). Specify option -01 for Carestream Min-R® 2190 scintillator, or option -02 for a Mitsubishi Chemical DRZStd or DRZ-fine (49.5 µm model) scintillator. Min-R 2190 not available on the Rad-icon 3030; contact us for
additional scintillator options.
All detectors ship with a universal input power supply (90-264V, 50-60Hz), power cord, Ethernet cable (ifapplicable) and software CD. For international orders, please specify the type of power cord you require. Camera
Link models require a CameraLink (full) frame grabber and cables (sold separately). Please contact yourTeledyne DALSA sales representative for more information.
