X-ray image sensor system and method

摘要

An improved x-ray image sensor system and method enables the use of an uncooled or only slightly cooled CCD array (18a) within a standard size x-ray film cassette (10). The sensor system enables the provision of a number of advanced functions such as remote diagnostic capability, variable image resolution, real-time exposure control, automatic x-ray detection, a low-power "sleep" mode, and automatic, closed loop optimization of image quality.
