2 Detector Operation
A DRX detector can be used with analog or digital systems to capture images digitally.
The detector operates in a wireless state, using a battery for power, and allowing wireless
communication for control and data transmission. The battery-powered detector
absorbs, measures, and translates into digital format the X-ray energy absorbed during
an X-ray exposure. Software corrects the digital image and generates a preview and full-
resolution image on the Console.
