Large numbers of these detectors reach the used market, but each one iscryptographically and administratively bound to its original Optima 220 AMX
console. Once separated from that console, or once the console is
decommissioned, the detector is effectively useless even though the hardware is
fully functional. There is a Windows software but it is not obtainable. The aim of this work is to remove that artificial barrier so
that a standalone FlashPad can be paired, configured, and read out by any host,
without the half million dollar console it was sold with.
*Veterinary practices, which can put surplus human grade detectors to good use at a fraction of the cost of new equipment.
*Clinics and hospitals in countries and regions where a complete commercial system is unaffordable, allowing serviceable detectors to keep providing diagnostic imaging instead of being scrapped.
*Study an research for example studying the fluid movement in plants. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-FHbHoiwNk (Xray timelapse by Ben Krasnow / Applied Science using a GE Flashpad)
