Abstract
A detector assembly for x-ray image acquisition includes a flat panel detector array. The detector assembly also includes a rechargeable battery, an analog to digital converter, and an image memory. The battery provides electrical power to the detector assembly so that image data may be acquired without using a power source external to the assembly. The image data is stored in a memory. The detector is subsequently be connected to a docking station which includes a battery charger. The image data is downloaded, and the battery is recharged.
