High voltage ceramic capacitors are necessary for high frequency purposes like x-ray and diagnostic applications. X-Ray processes can range from bomb detection to bone densitometry. The high voltage ceramic capacitors manufactured by CalRamic provide the required high reliability and superior performance for these applications.
One such diagnostic application example, shown below, is the
Gamma Camera. The device is used to
image gamma radiation emitting isotopes that are injected or inhaled into the
patient. Flat crystal planes are coupled
into an optical array that counts the gamma photons absorbed by the crystals. Two-dimensional images are created from the
captured gamma radiation. This imaging
technique is used to scan the brain, thyroid, lungs, liver, gallbladder,
kidneys and skeleton. Unlike conventional
x-ray techniques that scan structure and anatomy, the gamma camera produces
imagery that maps the function and processes of the body.
HV disc
low loss capacitors (CRT-0019), along with the HV disc capacitors (CRT-0006) and
the HV multilayer capacitors (CRT-0010), manufactured by CalRamic, would
provide the capacitance necessary for successful application in the X-Ray/diagnostic
industry. These capacitors are
manufactured under strict quality control guidelines to ensure unparalleled
performance in high voltage applications.
