Detection Technology has introduced the AVA product family, a modular series of X-ray line scan detectors. This new range addresses the needs of both security and industrial applications by offering enhanced imaging performance, versatility, and cost-effectiveness.
The AVA series includes an extensive selection of detectors, suitable for a variety of uses, from basic urban security to high-speed aviation, and even advanced mining tasks. Complete subsystems are available, featuring detector boards, data combiner boards, software libraries, and all necessary accessories.
Innovative dual-energy architecture
The AVA platform relies on a simplified hardware design, advanced on-chip algorithms, and the DT API, a cross-platform solution functional on Windows, Linux, and ARM systems. Notably, the dual-energy architecture of AVA incorporates two scintillator layers with an enhanced filter on a single printed circuit board (PCB). This innovation reduces material usage by 40% and bolsters the system's robustness with improved mechanical and electrical connections.
The product family is characterised by its value-segment detectors, which utilise optimised scintillator structures and materials, leading to higher image quality and cost efficiency. Conversely, the multi-row Time Delay Integration (TDI) option meets high-speed application demands, delivering sharp, high-contrast images—ideal for logistics and e-commerce screening systems.

AVA has been developed with integration simplicity, compactness, and durability in mind, catering to challenging imaging environments while lowering energy consumption and environmental impact. Its modular design supports rapid market readiness and easy customisation for varying system requirements, ensuring efficiency both in installation and maintenance, thus maximising system uptime and longevity.
Tomi Fält, Director of Product Management at Detection Technology, commented, “Our detector board platform enables both significant cost efficiency and application-optimised imaging performance. By combining simplified hardware design with advanced algorithms and a fully digitalised data path, the AVA product family helps our customers accelerate time-to-market while lowering total system costs. In the value segment, customers can achieve cost savings of up to 50% without compromising imaging performance.”
Global availability and support
The AVA range is available worldwide, supported by Detection Technology's robust engineering and service framework. This ensures dependable performance and customer care across various international markets.
By introducing the AVA product family, Detection Technology aims to meet the growing global demand for adaptable, scalable, and sustainable inspection systems, further establishing itself as a reliable figure in the X-ray imaging sector.
Detection Technology, a pioneer in X-ray detector solutions, announced the launch of its AVA product family. This off-the-shelf, modular line scan detector series is designed to deliver superior imaging performance, versatility, and cost efficiency across security and industrial X-ray imaging applications.
The AVA family offers a comprehensive range of detector solutions optimised from value-level systems to premium line scanners. Applications range from entry-level urban security and high-speed aviation to advanced mining and sorting with high-definition TDI (Time Delay Integration) technology. AVA is available as complete subsystems that include detector boards, data combiner boards, software libraries, and all necessary accessories.
Integrates two scintillator layers
The performance of the AVA platform is based on a simplified hardware design combined with on-chip algorithms and the DT API (Application Programming Interface). Thanks to the DT API, a cross-platform solution is available for Windows, Linux, and ARM systems.
Its dual-energy architecture integrates two scintillator layers with an embedded optimised filter for dual energy discrimination on a single PCB, cutting material use by 40% and improving robustness with fewer interfaces and stronger mechanical and electrical connections.
The value-segment detectors in the product family feature optimised scintillator structures and materials, enhancing both image quality and cost efficiency by reducing material requirements while improving signal performance. In contrast, the multi-row TDI option is designed for high-speed applications, ensuring exceptionally sharp, high-contrast penetration images even under demanding scanning conditions, such as logistics and e-commerce applications with high screening capacity requirements.
Ease of integration, compact design, and durability
The AVA product family has been engineered for ease of integration, compact design, and durability in harsh imaging environments, while reducing energy consumption and minimising carbon footprint.
Its modular scalability supports shorter time-to-market and easy adaptation to different system setups. Designed for straightforward installation and maintenance, AVA ensures maximised uptime and lifetime across both basic and advanced applications.
