Abstract
The invention provides an apparatus for shielding and grounding an x-ray detector assembly which is thereby substantially protected from pickup and microphonics. The apparatus includes an electrically conductive enclosure substantially enclosing the detector assembly and connected to the ground plane of the data acquisition system (DAS) independently of the signal and return paths between the detector assembly and the DAS.
