F2: Medical image sensors

Although image sensors in medical and biotech applications are ubiquitous, new technologies and applications are being developed every year. CCD, CMOS and TFT image-sensor technologies are fueling these applications, and enabling lower-cost and higher-performance systems. These sensors are challenging to design because they have widely varying requirements, including tolerance to X-rays, ultra-small pixels, low read noise, and bio-compatibility. This Forum is focused on presenting the newest image-sensor technologies and applications for the medical and biotech markets. The goal of this Forum is to give engineers and their management an in-depth view of these technologies and their future directions.
