    Abstract: A pixel array, composed of rows and columns, has a first row which includes pixels of a first color alternating with pixels of a second color. A second row of the array adjacent to the first row includes alternating pixels of the first color and second colors aligned in a column direction with the colors in the first row. A third row of the array is adjacent to the second row and includes pixels of a third color alternating with pixels of a fourth color. A fourth row of the array is adjacent to the third row and includes alternating pixels of the third and fourth colors aligned in a column direction with the colors of the third row. A readout circuit is connected to the array and reads out the pixel signals contained in each row in an odd/even interlaced fashion.

    Abstract: A method for developing a set of gain correction coefficients corrected for structural noise to be used in correcting the digital values representing an image captured by a pixelated detector having a plurality of individual sensors. The gain correction coefficients are developed by first obtaining a first set gain correction coefficients using a flat exposure and adjusting the individual sensor gain output so that all sensors produce the same output value, and then applying a smoothing filter to the first set of gain correction coefficients to obtain a new set of corrected gain correction coefficients.

    Abstract: A digital x-ray imaging device and method. The imaging device comprises a top electrode layer; a dielectric layer; a sensor layer comprising a photoconductive layer and a plurality of pixels, each pixel comprising a charge-collecting electrode; a thin film transistor (TFT) readout matrix connected to the charge-collecting electrodes; and a variable power supply adapted to provide a range of voltages between the top electrode layer and the TFT readout matrix. The variable power supply may comprise a programmable power supply. The method comprises varying the voltage between the top electrode layer and the TFT readout matrix of a TFT-based direct digital x-ray imaging device to provide an acceptable signal-to-noise ratio over a greater range of exposures than provided at a single voltage. The method may be particularly useful in non-destructive testing applications.

    Abstract: X-ray image degradation due to scattered radiation is reduced in a system using a planar sensor sheet by providing an X-ray absorbing sheet in front of the sensor sheet, or in back of the sensor sheet, or both. The thickness and material of construction of each X-ray absorbing sheet depends on the X-ray absorptivity of the material used, and whether the absorbing sheet is in front or in back of the sensor sheet. The front absorbing sheet is preferably as close as possible to the sensor sheet. The back absorbing sheet, if used, can be at essentially any distance from the sensor sheet, beyond a certain minimum, consistent with practical space limitations in the overall physical shape and design of the unit.
