Vision & Mission
During the past thirty
years, rapid advances in digital technologies have changed the ways in which
medicine is practiced. Continuous performance enhancements of Computed
Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance (MR) and Ultrasound (US) equipment among
others have enabled medical imaging modalities to bring previously
non-available accuracy and specificity to clinical diagnostic and treatment.
Recently, the digital
technology is revolutionizing all aspects of traditional radiography and in
combination with PACS is poised to create a filmless environment which
together with Computer Assisted Diagnostics (CAD) tools and tele-radiology
will provide for better care at lower costs.
At the core of digital
radiography stands a new class of highly sophisticated sensors called Flat
Panel Detectors. The early ones were made using scintillators and
photodiodes (Indirect Conversion Method) whereas the newest ones are based
on amorphous photo-conductors (Direct Conversion Method).
It is Anrad Corporation’s
mission to become the recognized world leader and preferred supplier of
amorphous Selenium based Direct Conversion detectors and Subsystems for
digital x-ray applications. |
