Abstract: An x-ray detector comprises: a housing, including a cover removably fastened on a flange of a flanged base and forming a semi-hermetic seal therebetween, the flanged base including a bottom surface and the flange surrounding a perimeter of the bottom surface; and an x-ray imager positioned on the bottom surface, the x-ray imager including a scintillator and an image sensor, wherein the seal semi-hermetically encloses the x-ray imager in the housing, and is positioned nonadjacently to surfaces in contact with the x-ray imager. In this way, a simpler and less costly seal for a digital x-ray panel can be provide; furthermore, the seal is reusable and resealable, facilitating repair and refurbishment of the device.

Abstract: An imager panel for an x-ray detector for obtaining x-ray images of an object is provided that includes a first portion disposed at the center of the hybrid imager panel that can produce images of a first resolution and a second portion disposed at least partially around the first portion that is capable of producing images of a second resolution. The hybrid imager panel provides a hybrid detector that can be selectively operated to obtain images of varying resolutions corresponding to the first resolution from the first portion, the second resolution from the second portion or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A digital X-ray detector is provided. The digital X-ray detector includes a polymeric substrate. The digital X-ray detector also include a detector array configured to generate image data based on incident X-ray radiation disposed on the polymeric substrate, wherein the polymeric substrate extends beyond an edge of the detector array. The digital X-ray detector further includes scan electronics and readout electronics configured to acquire image data from the detector array, wherein the scan electronics, the readout electronics, or both the scan electronics and the readout electronics are directly disposed on the polymeric substrate.

Abstract: A system for verifying the integrity of a radiation detector is provided. the system includes one or more data modules, one or more data lines, and a controller. The one or more data lines electronically connect one or more detector elements of the radiation detector to the one or more data modules. Each of the detector elements is operative to detect electromagnetic radiation. The controller is operative to induce a voltage in the one or more detector elements, obtain a reading from the one or more detector elements via the one or more data modules; and determine whether the integrity of the radiation detector has been compromised based at least in part on comparing the reading to a benchmark.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the use of X-ray detector cassettes that may be abutted or overlapped to form a detector assembly suitable for imaging objects that are too large to image using a single X-ray detector cassette. Such a detector assembly may be customized in terms of the size and/or shape of the field-of-view (FOV). In certain embodiments the radiation-sensitive electronics (e.g., readout electronics) are positioned to the side of the X-ray detecting components (e.g., scintillator, TFT array, and so forth), allowing the cassette to be thin relative to other detector devices and allowing the electronics to remain outside the X-ray beam path.

Abstract: An imaging detector, an imaging system having the imaging detector, and a method for manufacturing the imaging detector are disclosed. The imaging detector includes a substrate, a plurality of thin film transistors (TFTs) disposed on the substrate, a data line disposed on the substrate electrically coupled to at least two TFTs of the plurality of TFTs, a pixelated bottom electrode disposed on the substrate and laterally offset from the data line, a continuous organic photodiode layer, and a continuous top electrode layer overlaid on the continuous organic photodiode layer. The continuous organic photodiode layer is at least partially overlaid on the plurality of TFTs, the data line, and the pixelated bottom electrode and includes a first portion overlaid on the data line and a second portion overlaid on the pixelated bottom electrode. First portion is thicker than the second portion.
