  • Patent number: 6445763
    Abstract: One aspect of the present invention is a detector array for an imaging system, the detector array having a plurality of electrically conductive busses, a plurality of detector elements arranged in rows extending in an x-direction and columns extending in a z-direction, a plurality of scan lines, each operatively coupled to at least one of the detector elements so that electrical activation of one of the scan lines transfers an electrical charge from the detector element onto one of the busses; a plurality of read-out lines; and an interconnection matrix operatively coupled to the busses and the read-out lines and electrically reconfigurable to transfer electrical charges from the busses selectively to the read-out lines.
