A system and method of backlighting a display using LEDs is night vision viewing compatible and requires no filters. The backlight includes an array of LEDs and a controller configured to selectively illuminate the LEDs in the array. The array of LEDs includes orange LEDs that are illuminated during a night vision viewing mode and may include red LEDs that are illuminated in a non-night vision viewing mode.

A cable for a computed tomography system is described. In one embodiment, the cable electrically connects a detector module to a data acquisition system. The cable includes a conductor layer, an insulating layer and a shield layer having a thermal barrier. The thermal barrier reduces the amount of heat which is transferred from the data acquisition system to the detector module.

Image artifacts are reduced in a volumetric CT scanner system by decreasing the detector pitch along one or both dimensions of a 2D detector array. Four different embodiments for reducing detector pitch without reducing the size of each detector element are disclosed.
