Abstract

Recent flat-panel X-ray imaging detectors have been shown to be able to replace present-day X-ray film/screen cassettes; they capture an X-ray image electronically and hence enable a clinical transition to digital radiography. This chapter critically discusses the material, transport and imaging detector properties (e.g., dark current) of several potential X-ray photoconductors and compares them with an ideal photoconductor for use in direct-conversion imaging detectors. The present chapter also considers various metrics of detector performances including sensitivity, detective quantum efficiency, resolution in terms of the modulation transfer function, image lag and ghosting; and examines how these metrics depend on the photoconductor, and detector structure and design.
