Abstract
Monolithic pixel detectors, systems and methods for the detection and imaging of radiation in the form of energetic particles which may have a mass or be massless (such as X-ray photons) comprise a Si wafer with a CMOS processed readout communicating via implants for charge collection with an absorber forming a monolithic unit with the Si wafer to collect and process the electrical signals generated by radiation incident on the absorber. The pixel detectors, systems and methods are used in various medical, industrial and scientific types of applications.
