Flat-Panel Detectors with Avalanche Gain
Use of photons to create an electrically charged matrix and produce higher quality images
Active matrix flat-panel imagers (AMFPI) based on active matrix thin film transistor (TFT) arrays are the most promising technology for digital x-ray imaging due to their compact size, rapid readout, and better imaging performance than screen films.
A flat panel detector, comprising of a phosphor screen for receiving x-rays and converting the x-rays into optical photons, produce electrical charges from the photons and create an active matrix for detecting electrical charges. This allows for a system to generate good image quality at a very low dose.
