  2. Image intensifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_intensifier

    An image intensifier or image intensifier tube is a vacuum tube device for increasing the intensity of available light in an optical system to allow use under low-light conditions, such as at night, to facilitate visual imaging of low-light processes, such as fluorescence of materials in X-rays or gamma rays (X-ray image intensifier), or for conversion of non-visible light sources, such as ...

  3. X-ray image intensifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_image_intensifier

    A system containing an image intensifier may be used either as a fixed piece of equipment in a dedicated screening room or as mobile equipment for use in an operating theatre. A mobile fluoroscopy unit generally consists of two units, the X-ray generator and image detector (II) on a moveable C-arm, and a separate workstation unit used to store ...

  4. Fluoroscopy - Wikipedia

    Contrast ratio is also improved over image intensifiers; flat-panel detectors are linear over a very wide latitude, whereas image intensifiers have a maximum contrast ratio of about 35:1. Spatial resolution is roughly equal, although an image intensifier operating in magnification mode may be slightly better than a flat panel.

  5. G-arm medical imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-arm_medical_imaging

    G-arm medical imaging systems are based on fluoroscopic X-ray and are used for a variety of diagnostic imaging and minimally invasive surgical procedures.The name is derived from the G-shaped arm used to connect two X-ray generators and two X-ray detectors, image intensifiers or digital flat panel detectors, to one another.

  6. Flat-panel detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat-panel_detector

    For fluoroscopy, they are lighter, far more durable, smaller in volume, more accurate, and have much less image distortion than x-ray image intensifiers and can also be produced with larger areas. [7] Disadvantages compared to IIs can include defective image elements, higher costs and lower spatial resolution. [8]

  7. Fluorescence imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescence_imaging

    Images can be produced from a variety of methods including: microscopy, imaging probes, and spectroscopy. Fluorescence itself, is a form of luminescence that results from matter emitting light of a certain wavelength after absorbing electromagnetic radiation. Molecules that re-emit light upon absorption of light are called fluorophores. [1] [2]

  8. Charge-coupled device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge-coupled_device

    An intensified charge-coupled device (ICCD) is a CCD that is optically connected to an image intensifier that is mounted in front of the CCD. An image intensifier includes three functional elements: a photocathode, a micro-channel plate (MCP) and a phosphor screen. These three elements are mounted one close behind the other in the mentioned ...

  9. AN/PVS-7 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/PVS-7

    The AN/PVS-7 is a single tube biocular night vision device.Third-generation image intensifiers are able to be installed and are standard for military night vision. Most newer PVS-7 intensifier tubes are auto-gated to prevent image intensifier damage if exposed to intense light.
