g ge s hilight detector makes the difference red light output and photodiode matching · hilight detectors emit strong red light the peak wavelength 610 nm of the light output is matched to the sensitivity of the photodiode hilight is the only scintillator that has the red light output 99 absorption efficiency and superb signal-to-noise ratio · hilight converts 99 of x-ray captured by the detector components into the red light this high efficiency generates a high signal-to-noise ratio and results in less noisy images low dose technique superb image quality · hilight s high output reduces techniquemas and maintains diagnostic confidence in images it also prevents patients from taking redundant dose and helps contribute to longer tube life hilight detectors
