Innovation to
improve image quality by reducing power and design complexity in
high-performance CT detectors
ams OSRAM brought new
innovation to the market in our AS5911, a 256-channel analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) for digitizing signals from photodiode arrays in
high-performance computed tomography (CT) scanners was recently launched.
It
provides best-in-class power to noise performance to achieve the highest image
quality of next-generation CT scanners. This helps medical practitioners to
improve diagnostic value, and ultimately leads to better outcomes for
patients.
Better
measurement through improved performance in visible and Infrared light for
diagnostic applications in wearables
The new TOPLED® D5140, SFH
2202, is a photodiode with improved performance including higher sensitivity to
visible light in the green part of the spectrum, and increased linearity. Wearable devices using the new photodiode will be able to improve heart rate
and blood oxygen measurement in challenging ambient light conditions. It
achieves 30 times higher linearity in the infrared spectrum than standard
photodiodes.
