Abstract
A planarizing heat sink plate having a top portion and a bottom portion is provided. The heat sink plate includes a plurality of receiving means formed therethrough and operable to receive a module ejection device, and at least one removing means formed therethrough and operable to receive a driving device. Also included is at least one planarizing projection formed on the bottom portion and adapted to receive a radiographic sensor module. The at least one removing means is disposed between the plurality of receiving means, and the at least one planarizing projection corresponds to the at least one removing means. The heat sink plate is a multi-functional device that can aid in forming an efficient radiographic detector head comprising a plurality of radiographic sensor modules in the same plane, safely removing the radiographic sensor modules, and conducting heat away from the radiographic sensor modules.
