Fairchild Imaging’s involvement in replacing x-ray film with electronic imaging began in the 1980s with entry into the dental and medical fields.

Fairchild Imaging's experience in dental x-ray imaging began in 1988 with the development and manufacture of our intra-oral sensor. Shortly thereafter we developed a line of extra-oral x-ray sensors for panoramic usage. Since that time Fairchild Imaging has supplied tens of thousands of imaging assemblies for both intra- and extra-oral use.

Fairchild Imaging is also a technology leader in the use of electronic imaging to replace x-ray film for spot mammography and biopsy mammography applications. Our experience in x-ray imaging and wafer scale CCD manufacturing core competencies have been combined in a patented mammography cassette for OEM integrators. We are currently in the process of expanding our mammography success into other medical related CCD applications.

We currently have multiple product offerings and OEM customers worldwide.
The following is a listing of both custom devices and available CCDs along with their current applications:

• CCD 296 Extra-oral device configured in a 1024 x 48, 45pm pixel time delay integration (TDI) device butted end to end (up to four die) and mounted on a ceramic header.
• CCD 297 Our intra-oral sensor utilizes a 800 x 640 full frame transfer architecture enhanced by the use of a patented clipped four corner design.
• CCD 447 2048 x 2048 full frame imager for x-ray inspection
• CCD 449 2048 x 2048 39pm pixel pitch interline transfer
• CCD 485 4096 x 4097 full frame imager for mammography and other X-ray applications
• CCD 486 4096 x 4096 full frame imager for mammography and other X-ray applications
