    Abstract: An X-ray detector module of a multi-module X-ray detector array having a local processing unit configured to provide real-time control and computational capabilities at the x-ray detector module. In various embodiments, by providing these capabilities in the detector module itself, as opposed to a component located downstream of the detector module, there may be an immediate cost reduction, opportunities to include additional features, and performance improvement opportunities not otherwise practical to implement in conventional X-ray imaging systems.

    Abstract: Various aspects include methods and devices for reducing the scanning time for an X-ray diffraction scanner system by increasing the count rate or efficiency of the energy discriminating X-ray detector. In a first embodiment, the count rate of the energy discriminating X-ray detector is increased by increasing the number of detectors counting X-ray scatter photon in particular energy bins by configuring individual pixel detectors within a 2-D X-ray detector array to count photons within specific energy bins. In a second embodiment, the gain of amplifier components in the detector processing circuitry is increased in order to increase the energy resolution of the detector. In a third embodiment, the individual pixel detectors within a 2-D X-ray detector array are configured to count photons within specific energy bins and the gain of amplifier components in the detector processing circuitry is increased in order to increase the energy resolution of the detector.

    Abstract: Direct attach radiation detector structures include an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) including an array of unit cells including signal processing channel circuitry and at least one radiation sensor including an array of pixel detectors located over a front surface of the ASIC. In various embodiments, an ASIC having a fixed layout of unit cells may accommodate different radiation sensors having varying layouts of pixel detectors. In some embodiments, a redistribution layer on the front surface of the ASIC may route detection signals from pixel detectors to the corresponding unit cells. Alternatively, or in addition, a subset of the unit cells of the ASIC may be active unit cells that are electrically coupled to a pixel detector. The remaining unit cells may be inactive unit cells that may be powered down.
