Abstract
A digital radiography detector includes a casing having a planar member and side walls defining a cavity; a baseplate located within the cavity; and a radiography detector assembly mounted on the baseplate. Means are provided for locating the baseplate on the casing planar member. The means includes protrusion features projecting from one of the baseplate and the casing planar member and complementary recess features on the other of the baseplate and the casing planar member, the protrusion features mating with the recess features. The radiography detector assembly includes a photodetector array mounted on the baseplate and a scintillator screen in contact with the photodetector array, wherein the scintillator screen has one or more edges, and including a clamp mounted on the baseplate for clamping the scintillator screen on the one or more edges to the photodetector array to prevent movement of the screen.
