•t Dental Cephalometric
•t Mammography
•t Veterinary
•t Scientific
•t Pharmaceutical Inspection

Argus scanning X-ray detectors include high resolution scintillator technology and standard
Ethernet connectivity, allowing images to be ported directly to a computer for processing.
Argus utilizes our radiation hard sensor fabrication process to ensure longevity and image
quality that is immune to X-ray radiation degradation over time. This means you will be able
to acquire the same high quality images over and over, and get consistent results over the
lifetime of your modality.
Argus also uses the latest advancements in MEMS technology to maintain the typical gap
between individual image sensors in assembly close to default pixel size. This also benefits
our detectors in terms of planarity, so that the same high image quality is maintained
throughout the whole field of view of the detector.
