RADIOGRAPHY IMAGING AND RADIATION DETECTION SYSTEM

摘要

A radiography imaging apparatus comprises a radiation source to generate radiation for irradiation of a patient. A radiation detection unit comprises a plurality of detection modules to detect radiation having passed through the patient and to convert the radiation into an electrical signal and to convert the electrical signal into a digital signal to provide digital data. A data collection unit collects the digital data from the plurality of detection modules for use in generation of a radiography image of the patient, wherein each of the plurality of detection modules transmits the digital data to a neighboring detection module, and at least one of the plurality of detection modules transmits cumulative digital data acquired from the plurality of detection modules to the data collection unit.
