    Shanghai, China, February 20, 2025 - AMS OSram (SIX: AMS), a global leader in optical solutions, today announced the launch of two new sensor modules, reaffirming its deep development in computed tomography (CT) technology. As the core components of advanced diagnostic imaging technology, these two modules will provide more accurate diagnosis and treatment support for a variety of clinical applications such as oncology and cardiovascular disease treatment, helping to achieve early diagnosis of diseases. The new products will help upgrade medical imaging technology in various segments of the CT market. For the high-end CT market, AMS OSram has introduced a new system-level packaged sensor module specifically designed for photon counting detectors that significantly reduces radiation dose while increasing diagnostic value. Ams Osram also introduced a new sensor module for the price-sensitive CT market, which guarantees high-quality medical imaging at a competitive price.

AS5920M - AMS 'first innovative packaging solution for photon counting detectors
    CT, as an important medical imaging technology, generates 3D images of the whole body or local organs through X-rays to assist doctors in diagnosing diseases and monitoring treatment effects. However, because CT relies on ionizing radiation, how to minimize radiation doses while ensuring diagnostic effectiveness has been a major societal challenge for universal access to modern medical services, such as pediatric examinations and screening applications.
    In response to this challenge, AMS OSram launched the AS5920M photon counting detector, which uses an innovative technology to directly detect a single X-ray photon, breaking through the limitations of traditional X-ray detectors to measure radiation intensity indirectly. This unique detection technology not only significantly reduces the radiation dose of CT scans, but also ensures that image quality and resolution are not compromised, greatly expanding the scope of CT equipment for advanced diagnostic tasks and patient screening applications for regulatory certification.
    In addition, the new AS5920M has ultra-high resolution. Its detector pixel size is nine times smaller than traditional CT detectors, and thanks to excellent material resolution, low noise and excellent contrast, the AS5920M can provide accurate diagnostic information in the early stages of disease, thereby improving patient outcomes.
    With this future-proof innovation, AMS OSram offers CT System developers an advanced system-in-package (SiP) solution that reduces the complexity of system integration. The solution significantly optimizes the bill of Parts (BOM) by integrating multiple integrated circuits (ics) and passive components in a single package without the need for external components. Its four-sided fit System Package (BSIP) design supports the juxtaposition of multiple devices in any direction, enabling the construction of large detector areas, which are perfectly suited for clinical CT applications.
