Abstract
A radiographic imaging detector can include a housing, a radiographic imaging array enclosed by the housing, and a recess to releasably contain a battery in an outer surface of the housing. Certain exemplary embodiments of securing methods and/or battery latch apparatus for the closable recess of the DR detector can include a first catch mechanism configured to be released by force applied in a first direction, a second catch mechanism released by force applied in a second direction different from the first direction, where movement in the first direction can operate to disengage the first catch mechanism from the second catch mechanism, where movement in the second direction can operate to disengage the second catch mechanism for access to the recess, where the second catch mechanism is nearby the first catch mechanism, and where the first and second catch mechanism are actuated using one hand of an operator.
