4343W X-ray Detector
REFERENCE MANUAL
8.0 Description of the 4343W
The 4343W is a lightweight, wireless X-ray Detector designed for medical and veterinary use.
The X-ray Detector together with the Varex Smart Panel (VSP) software is designed for
integration into an X-ray system. The VSP is the interface between the X-ray Detector and the
Client PC; such as control, image acquisition and calibration.
The 4343W fits standard bucky trays and the wireless communication enables easy migration
between table, above the table, chest stand, and mobile cart physical applications.
The wireless access point is the interface between the X-ray Detector and the imaging system and
may be mounted in an equipment enclosure, or it may also be wall or ceiling mounted to
maximize wireless signal strength. An additional cable is supplied with the X-ray Detector to
allow for set-up of the wireless interface and to retrieve images from the X-ray Detector in case of
failed wireless transmission.
During operation, the X-ray Detector is often draped or bagged to ensure cleanliness and
sterilization. It is manipulated such that the X-ray Detector’s input window is located near, but
on the opposite side of the patient, from the X-ray source.
Figure 1 shows the configuration of the X-ray Detector in the context of the typical overall
imaging system.
