  • Imaging apparatus
    Patent number: 7977642
    Abstract: An imaging apparatus for x-rays includes a scintillator, overlying an array of imaging pixels on a substrate, and at least one trigger pixel array externally peripheral to the array of imaging pixels on the substrate such that the trigger pixel array is not substantially overshadowed by the scintillator from incident x-ray radiation. A layer substantially impervious to light but transparent to x-rays overlays the trigger pixel array, such that the trigger pixels are unresponsive to light but triggered by direct hits from incident x-ray photons.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 16, 2008
    Date of Patent: July 12, 2011
    Assignee: E2V Technologies (UK) Limited
