Flexible Organic X-ray Image Sensor for Healthcare (FOXISH)

FOXISH项目旨在通过取代CR、模拟胶片和玻璃基数字X射线平板探测器，制造低成本、重量轻和坚固的数字平板X射线探测器。用玻璃上的非晶硅背板制成的数字X射线平板探测器将被低成本塑料基板上的有机薄膜晶体管阵列所取代，并且非晶硅光电二极管将被有机光电二极管所取代，以便制成可用于移动的X射线平板探测器单元的低成本、轻重量和稳健的数字X射线探测器。如果成功的话，X射线平板探测器可以通过提供负担得起的早期诊断和预防，彻底改变中国资源贫乏地区的医疗服务。

The FOXISH project looks into making low cost, light weight and robust digital flat panel X-ray detectors by replacing CR, analogue films and glass based digital X-ray flat panel detectors. The digital X-ray flat panel detectors made with amorphous silicon backplanes on glass will be replaced with organic thin film transistor arrays on low cost plastic substrates and the amorphous silicon photodiode will be replaced with an organic photodiode in order to make a low cost, light weight and robust digital X-ray detector that can be used in mobile X-ray flat panel detector units. If successful the X-ray flat panel detectors can revolutionize the healthcare services in resource poor locations in China through the availability of affordable early diagnosis and prevention.
