Abstract
A radiological image detection system capable of cooperating with a scanning X-ray generator designed to produce X-ray radiation scanning a surface to be imaged. The scanning X-ray radiation irradiates, portion after portion, the surface to be imaged. The X-ray radiation from a portion carries a radiological image of the portion. The detection system includes an image sensor that is stationary with respect to the scanning and dimensioned to acquire an image of the entire surface to be imaged by the X-ray radiation from the portions. In addition, the detection system includes a mechanism to limit, at a given time, the acquisition of the image sensor to that of the image of the portion irradiated at that given time, the limitation mechanism being in synchronism with the scanning and in geometrical correspondence with the irradiated portion.
