The size of the X-ray sensor active area in relation to traditional film based Xray systems available to the veterinary profession.

The equivalent sensor area used to produce an image, measured in square millimeters (mm2). The larger the number, the larger the active area.

The total number of pixels in the sensor active area. It has no unit value; however, a larger number results in a finer image.

The size of the smallest discrete picture element used in the process of image acquisition, measured in micrometers (µm). The smaller the pixel size, the finer the image.

Measures the maximum level of detail that the sensor system is capable of acquiring, measured in line-pairs per millimeter (lp/mm). The larger the number, the finer the image.

Represents the largest output of the device as a ratio to the smallest output, measured in decibels (dB). A larger number shows a greater X-ray exposure range in which the X-ray sensor system can produce an image without degradation.
