Abstract

An image detector for an x-ray device includes photosensors which have at least two contacts on which an electrical signal occurs when x-rays are detected. In each case, at least one contact of the photosensors is arranged on its rear side, facing away from the image source. Further, the material used for the photosensors is an organic photodiode material.
