Abstract
A digital radiography panel has a scintillator screen having a light-exiting surface from a material with a first index of refraction n1 and a photosensor array having a light-accepting surface from a material with a second index of refraction n2. A pressure-sensitive adhesive couples the light-exiting surface of the scintillator screen to the light-accepting surface of the photosensor array and has a third index of refraction that has a value nPSA that either lies in the range between n1 and n2, or substantially matches n1 or n2, or both.
