What Is the Orthoscan Flat Detector 15×12 cm (235-0005)?
Product: Orthoscan Flat Panel Detector — 15 cm × 12 cm
Part Number: 235-0005
Also Known As: Flat Panel Detector, FPD, Digital Detector, Imaging Detector
The Orthoscan Flat Detector (235-0005) is the 15 cm × 12 cm amorphous silicon flat panel detector used in the Orthoscan FD, FD-OR, and MDI Mini C-Arms. It is the component that captures the x-ray image and converts it to a digital signal — replacing the image intensifier technology used in earlier Orthoscan platforms. The flat detector delivers the high-resolution, low-dose digital fluoroscopy that defines the FD platform. A failing or degraded flat detector typically presents as a partial or completely blank image, horizontal or vertical banding artifacts across the image, image dropout at the edges or center, dramatically reduced image quality that cannot be corrected by gain calibration, or detector-related error codes at system startup.

What does the flat panel detector do in a mini C-arm?+
The flat panel detector (FPD) is the digital imaging sensor positioned opposite the x-ray tube in the C-arm. It captures x-ray photons that pass through the patient and converts them to a digital image signal. On FD-platform Orthoscan units, the FPD replaces the image intensifier used in older II-based systems, delivering higher resolution and lower radiation dose.
What are the symptoms of a failing flat detector?+
Common failure symptoms include a partially or completely blank image, horizontal or vertical banding artifacts, image dropout at the edges or center of the field of view, significantly degraded image quality that cannot be corrected through gain calibration, or detector-related error codes at startup. These symptoms warrant a detector evaluation before attempting other repairs.
Does gain calibration need to be performed after replacing the flat detector?+
Yes. After any flat detector replacement, a gain calibration (offset and gain map acquisition) must be performed to optimize image quality for the new detector. This is a standard part of the replacement procedure and requires the system software to be run through its calibration routine. Our engineers perform this as part of every flat detector installation.
What does sold on exchange mean?+
Exchange means you return your defective core unit when you receive the replacement. This helps keep costs down and ensures defective units are properly refurbished. Our team will provide return instructions with your order.
How quickly can I get this part shipped?+
Same-day shipping is available on in-stock parts when ordered before 5PM EST. Call (800) 643-2998 to confirm availability and discuss expedited shipping options.
