Abstract:
A structured dental x-ray detector implements an array of holes or channels filled with at least one of polycrystalline, amorphous, or nano-particle semiconductor x-ray or gamma ray converter materials. Readout electronics are configured for acquiring and analyzing signals from the detector; e.g., operating in a signal integration or photon detecting mode, or in a photon detecting mode with energy resolution. In dental application, a protective shell or frame can be provided to encapsulate the detector and readout electronics, with a wired or wireless communications link to a computer system configured for image data post-processing and storage of the readout signals, with an electronic display for the image data.
