Expert Q&A on Enhanced Dual Energy Inspection
Get an in-depth look at photon-counting technology and its application in x-ray inspection for food safety. Photon-counting represents an advanced method of image detection where individual x-ray photons are counted and sorted based on their energy levels. This differs significantly from traditional scintillator-based detectors that convert x-rays to light before detection, which can reduce image clarity.
By directly measuring photons and their energies, photon-counting detectors produce images with higher resolution and enhanced contrast. This allows for more precise identification of contaminants such as bone fragments, plastics, and thin metals, which are critical to ensuring food safety and quality.
The improved detection capability of photon-counting technology reduces false rejects, meaning fewer safe products are mistakenly discarded. This leads to better operational efficiency and higher yield, particularly important in fast-paced processing environments like poultry production.
