Abstract
The invention involves 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 comprises an image sensor which is stationary with respect to the scanning and which is dimensioned so as to be able to acquire an image of the surface to be imaged by the X-ray radiation from the portion. In addition, it comprises a device for limiting, at a given time, the acquisition of the image sensor to that of the image of the portion irradiated at that time.
