  • Publication number: 20210170734
    Abstract: A method of attaching a detector onto a substrate that has an array of electrically conducting pads is provided, together with the resulting detector assembly. The method includes pouring a non-conductive adhesive material over a substrate surface, allowing the adhesive to settle between the conducting pads to form dams around the conducting pads, applying a conductive adhesive material onto the conducting pads of the substrate, and placing a surface of the detector on the substrate surface over the conducting and non-conducting adhesives to thereby attach the surface of the detector to the surface of the substrate.

  • Patent number: 7829860
    Abstract: An imaging detector system includes a radiation detector having a plurality of pixels for generating a plurality of detection signals in response to radiation. Each of the pixels is used to generate a corresponding one of the detection signals. The imaging detector system includes a plurality of photon counting channels. Each photon counting channel is coupled to a corresponding one of the pixels to receive and process the corresponding one of the detection signals. Each photon integrating channel is coupled to a corresponding one of the pixels to receive and process the corresponding one of the detection signals. An image processor receives outputs from the photon counting channels and the photon integrating channels, wherein the image processor is adapted to generate an image using the received outputs.
