In the medical sector, CdTe/CdZnTe-CMOS sensor technology offers unique and exclusive benefits, particularly in the field of general radiography. Utilizing the SCAN5000TDI (link) sensor family a cost effective and highly performing scanning linear array can be implemented with active area of 450mm that can scan-image the chest or other body parts at 40cm/sec with 0.1mm line width (ie 4000lines/sec TDI output). Since this is a linear rather than a full format array, the cost of such sensor is highly competitive against flat panels, while CdTe/CdZnTe offers exquisite image quality, sensitivity and contrast.

In nuclear medicine (PET, SPECT) as well as  bone densitometry, the PID350 (link) technology family offers energy dispersive imaging with high position resolution and heralds a new generation of such systems.
