Grant Description

PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT

Indirect-detection x-ray Flat Panel Detectors (FPDs) use a scintillator to convert x-rays to light, which is then detected by

photodiodes coupled to readout electronics. During the past two decades, the latter evolved from noisy amorphous Silicon arrays with coarse pixels (>130 µm) to low-noise CMOS sensors with very fine pixels (
