Abstract: A flexible x-ray detector and a method and system of using the same to acquire one or more x-ray images are disclosed. The flexible x-ray detector apparatus includes a curvature-fixing holder, which has a predetermined curvature. The curvature-fixing holder has a first end and a second end, which has a perimeter defining an internal slot or recess. The flexible detector is configured to be inserted into the recess of the curvature-fixing holder and follows the predetermined curvature of the recess. The flexible x-ray detector may further include a scintillator and a flexible substrate. A method of using a flexible x-ray detector apparatus as well as a system including one or more flexible x-ray detector apparatus are also disclosed.

Abstract: An x-ray detector for obtaining x-ray images of an object is provided that is capable of increasing the ability of the detector to withstand shock and other types of forces acting on the enclosure to prevent and/or limit damage to the internal components of the detector. The enclosure includes an internal filler/force distribution layer formed from a lightweight, rigid material such as rigid foam and/or a suitable structure, such as a honeycomb or other lattice structure. The material is formed or shaped to fill a layer or portion of the interior of the detector that is otherwise empty space defined between the various internal components of the detector. The position and shape of the force distribution layer determines the path of load distribution across or through the enclosure away from the internal components of the detector and is optimized for shock absorption and/or load distribution.
