Improved Sensitivity with High Resolution

Eastman Kodak Company continues to reinforce its position as a leading supplier of high performance image sensors with the announcement of two new CCD sensors for the Digital Radiography (DR) and Scientific imaging markets. The new KAF-16803 and KAF-09000 Image Sensors offer improved sensitivity with high resolution, allowing manufacturers to develop cost effective systems with improved contrast of fine features. These new image sensors build on the success of current Kodak image sensors that are used today in Digital Radio­graphy applications. By leveraging improvements in pixel design first introduced in products such as the 39 megapixel KAF-39000 image sensor, these new ­image sensors provide both a significant increase in quantum efficiency as well as a reduction in noise compared to CCD image sensors currently used in DR systems.
