Detection Technology Unveils X-Tile HS CT Detector
The four-side tileable detector module will be displayed at RSNA 2026 in Chicago, where the company is also showing X-Tile HS DAS and AIDA.
Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Semiconductors
Detection Technology has introduced X-Tile HS, a high-speed, four-side tileable computed tomography detector module. The company will display X-Tile HS, X-Tile HS DAS, and AIDA at RSNA 2026 in Chicago from November 29 to December 2.
Why it matters
The module's tileable design allows multiple units to be combined in both axial and transaxial directions, which bears on how CT detector arrays are assembled. Its stated dynamic range and configurable integration times target imaging performance in medical CT systems.
Each module has 512 channels in a 16 × 32 pixel layout with a stated 121 dB dynamic range and 24-bit on-module digitisation. Typical power draw is 0.65 W per tile, the module stands 11.35 mm high, and integration times are configurable from 50 µs to 1.6 ms.
The players
Detection Technology
Detection Technology is a company that develops X-ray and computed tomography detector hardware for medical and industrial imaging applications.
RSNA 2026
RSNA 2026 is the annual scientific meeting of the Radiological Society of North America, a major international forum for radiology and medical imaging technology.
The details
X-Tile HS uses a medical-grade gadolinium oxysulphide scintillator paired with backside-illuminated photodiode technology. Modules combine through a four-side tileable architecture, with a pixel pitch of 1.12 mm (Z) × 1.06 mm (X) across module boundaries.
Timeline
November 4, 2026: Detection Technology introduces X-Tile HS.
November 29 to December 2, 2026: X-Tile HS is displayed at RSNA 2026 in Chicago.
The Tech Race
The X-Tile HS launch is staged ahead of its appearance at RSNA 2026, the principal annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America. Positioning the module at that venue places it among the detector hardware that CT system makers preview to the medical imaging market each year.
For imaging departments evaluating CT hardware, the module's tileable design and configurable integration times determine how detector arrays can be scaled and tuned. Buyers will need to weigh the stated 121 dB dynamic range and power draw against their own system requirements.
The takeaway
Modular, tileable detector architectures let CT system designers scale arrays without redesigning each unit. Readers tracking medical imaging hardware should watch the RSNA 2026 showcase for independent performance data.
What happens next
Detection Technology will display X-Tile HS, X-Tile HS DAS, and AIDA at RSNA 2026 in Chicago from November 29 to December 2, 2026.
