  • Radiation detector and scanner
    Patent number: 10459091
    Abstract: A system operable for detecting radiation to scan an object includes scintillators that have respective lengths that are greater than their respective widths and an imager that has a planar array of pixels. The scintillators are coupled to the imager with their respective longitudinal axes parallel to each other. An incoming radiation beam that has passed through the object enters the scintillators through respective surfaces of the scintillators that are transverse to the longitudinal axes, and is converted by the scintillators into light that is received by respective subsets of the planar array of pixels.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 30, 2016
    Date of Patent: October 29, 2019
    Assignee: Varex Imaging Corporation
    Inventors: Daniel Shedlock, David T Nisius, Josh M Star-Lack, Samuel Donnald, Gary F Virshup, James E Clayton
