The high X-ray imaging performance comes from the direct conversion capability of the material. Most traditional X-ray detectors use indirect conversion, which trades off resolution (how much detail you can see in an image) against dose efficiency (how many X-rays are needed to create a useable image). Direct conversion detectors are now accepted in the market for delivering best-in-class X-ray image sharpness, higher throughput for in-line inspection, and low dose performance for medical. However, these direct conversion detectors come at a significant cost premium due to their high material & processing costs.
