Dynamic X-Ray Imaging System based on an all-solid-state Detector

New digital detector systems based on all-solid-state large area elec-tronics offer a number of advantages for the user, like no image distortions, flat and light weight housing, no veiling glare, and large dynamic range. On the other hand, they require a dedicated image preprocessing to exploit their full image quality. In this paper we address design concepts, performance charac-terization and resulting image preprocessing aspects of our experimental de-tector system. The system comprises the detector frontend and a realtime image preprocessing unit with an interface to a commercial digital video system. It is intended for clinical evaluation of this new technology.
