NIE 2024 | Cao Peiyuan from FrameViewtek: Industrialization of Photon Counting X-ray Detection Technology

The following are the key points of Cao Peiyuan's speech:

Frame Guande Xin is committed to providing high-performance imaging equipment and globally leading photon counting technology application solutions to customers worldwide. Since its establishment in 2015, it has been pioneering in the 'uncharted territory' at the forefront of technology. The company's R&D centers are located in Shenzhen, Beijing, and Suzhou, while its production centers are situated in Shenzhen and Suzhou, forming a strong R&D and production network.

Regarding the photon counting technology of FrameViewDeCore, Cao Peiyuan shared that the technology mainly has high-quality features such as direct imaging, zero dark noise, and wide dynamic range, bringing revolutionary changes to medical imaging. This technology not only improves the clarity and contrast of images but also greatly reduces radiation dose, providing safer and more efficient diagnostic tools for patients and doctors.

Cao Peiyuan pointed out that FrameView's product pipeline covers multiple fields such as medical imaging, scientific research instruments, and industrial non-destructive testing, mainly including:

The photon counting intra-port sensor has been widely used globally due to its clear images, stable product, and low cost. The photon counting mammography system & mobile breast cancer screening solution adopts advanced photon counting X-ray direct imaging technology, providing rich and detailed X-ray image information. This makes the details of breast tissue clearly visible, significantly improving the accuracy of breast cancer screening, reducing misdiagnosis and missed diagnoses rates, and offering high-quality screening and diagnosis for more eligible women. The photon counting biopsy system comes with a high-definition medical display screen and image processing tools, allowing for quick viewing of high-definition images of excised tissue in the operating room to observe whether the excised tissue contains target lesions or whether the resection margin is sufficient. This improves surgical success rates and reduces the probability of secondary surgery. The Photon Counting Spectral CT imaging under the 14th Five-Year Plan Key Research and Development Special Project features clear images, color images, no dark noise, and can reduce radiation dose by 50% during CT examinations.

- Scientific and industrial instruments: Frameview's dedicated synchrotron radiation detectors and high-speed surface array polycrystalline X-ray diffractometers provide high-precision detection solutions for scientific research. Photon counting X-ray scientific detectors are mainly aimed at cutting-edge synchrotron radiation X-ray scientific research and photon detection needs for high-end X-ray scientific instruments. They offer domestically produced and customized high-performance detectors for single crystal X-ray diffraction, polycrystalline diffraction, small-angle scattering, and X-ray imaging technologies; there are also instruments focused on major national needs and high-end precision instruments, including direct electron detectors, bench-top powder diffractometers, and phase contrast imaging systems.

Frame Guande Xin holds more than 800 invention patents, including over 150 PCT international patent applications and more than 600 national invention patent applications. It covers a large number of underlying core technologies such as semiconductor devices, integrated circuits, and manufacturing processes, demonstrating the company's leading position in the global field of photon counting technology.

Frame Guande Xin will continue to increase investment in research and development, create new productive forces, promote the high-quality development and industrialization process of photon counting X-ray detection technology, with the aim of bringing more innovation and value to global fields such as healthcare, scientific research, and industry.
