Abstract:
A detector panel is described having readout circuitry integrated with the photodetectors, such as in the light imager panel. The detector is useful in high spatial resolution and low-dose or low-signal imaging contexts and may be used in adaptive 2D binning configurations. Adaptive binning of detector elements may be accomplished using control logic and X-ray intensity detector circuitry capable of assessing an incident X-ray intensity and controlling binning of an associated group of detector elements.
