Nuclear Imaging Options Today
Thermionic (Sensor Tube Based) Cameras
Market leader
Extreme radiation environments
1970’s Tube Technology – demand flat
Shielded CCD or CMOS based camera modules
Preferred choice for medium radiation D&D applications
Lower cost but more competition (HD 4K)
Demand increasing
Radiation Tolerant CMOS Sensors
Ongoing R&D (Mirion & others)
Potential to replace existing tube based cameras
Low maintenance and long life – Color, standard definition

How can HYPERION help you?
● HYPERION is a digital video platform and can integrate a wide
variety of tools not possible or easy-to-use with analog systems
Add measurement tools to multi-camera monitoring systems
Limits or even eliminates distortion associated with thermionic tube
technology
HI-RAD will no longer be a limiting factor in your VMS coverage with
HYPERION
