Abstract
A detector apparatus for use as part of a data network includes a plurality of x-ray detectors, each of the plurality of x-ray detectors including a network-capable network interface, and a switch or router, connected to each of the network-capable network interfaces of the plurality of x-ray detectors, each of the plurality of x-ray detectors including a distinct IP address such that the data network is adjustable to take a change in a number of the plurality of x-ray detectors into account. The plurality of x-ray detectors are configured to detect x-rays generated from a single x-ray source.
