Abstract
The x-ray imaging system comprises an x-ray source for producing an x-ray beam having an energy of at least 30 kVp and an x-ray detector. The x-ray detector comprises a solid state integrated circuit having a silicon substrate and a plurality of charge storage devices. The detector is responsive to x-rays of at least 30 keV to directly produce free electrons which interact with the charge storage devices.
