Abstract
The present invention, in one form, is a flexible interconnect circuit for altering the resolution of an imaging system. In one embodiment, by combining a plurality of detector array signal lines within the interconnect circuit, the imaging system resolution is altered. Each interconnect circuit includes a plurality of contacts at a first end and a second end and a plurality of conductors extending therebetween electrically connected to at least one contact at each end. By altering the number of contacts which are connected together, the resolution of the imaging system is altered.
