    Abstract: An imaging method includes the steps of: (a) causing a beam to travel from an emitter through an examination area for receipt at a detector; and (b) within the detector, (i) transforming the beam that is received into light, (ii) transforming the light into electrical signals representative of digital images corresponding to the examination area, including using a collector within the detector to collect the light as it passes to photosensitive areas of the collector without first passing through any wiring layer of the collector, and (iii) transmitting from the detector the data representative of digital images for display of the digital images to a user on a computing device. The detector includes a plurality of wiring layers having stacked substrates attached together. Furthermore, each substrate includes one or more processing circuits, by which the detector is configured for fast readout speed and dual native ISO.

    Abstract: A back illuminated sensor preferably is included as a collector component of a detector for use in intraoral and extraoral 2D and 3D dental radiography, digital tomosynthesis, photon-counting computed tomography, positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). The disclosed imaging method includes one or more intraoral or extraoral emitters for emitting a low-dose gamma ray or x-ray beam through a dental examination area; and one or more intraoral or extraoral detectors for receiving the beam, each detector including a back illuminated sensor. Within the detector, the beam preferably is converted into light and then focused and collected at a photocathode layer without passing through the wiring layer of the back illuminated sensor.
