Powering X-ray Detectors - the Role of High and Low Voltage Power Supplies
March 17, 2025
In any imaging system, the noise and ripple on the output of the high voltage supply are critical as they compromise the image quality. Any ripple present at the point of detection will degrade signal integrity and then become amplified before being analyzed and ultimately displayed. To achieve the best possible image quality, defining and managing this power source parameter is crucial to successfully implementing the system.
