A digital array for capturing a radiogram. The array includes a generally flat base (36) on which there is mounted with a plurality of absorbing mounts (40) a rigid support plate (44). A radiation electronic detection panel is mounted on a rigid plate in a way that the panel "floats" over the base. Electronic circuitry associated with the radiation detection panel is connected thereto with flexible connectors. A cover (38), which is transparent to x-ray radiation and opaque to visible radiation, is attached to the base to form a light tight enclosure for the panel. The top cover inner surface opposite the front surface of the radiation detection panel, is spaced from the detection panel front surface, and the detection panel is also spaced from the side walls (39).
