Improved-resolution x-ray array detector applied for SART fanbeam

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the design and construction of improved-resolution x-ray detector. Our detector is an array of photo-transistors coated with gadolinium based phosphor similar that used in the x-ray cassettes and used in advanced medical CT detector. The x-ray array detector module consists of two main part: the detector frontend and data acquisition system. The detector frontend includes preamplifying, low-pass filter. The data acquisition system is served to convert the signal in to digital form and forward it to personnel computer. The application of the detector as a CT detector shows a promising result. © 2006 IEEE.
