Abstract
A CCD imaging device employing a light-gathering, fiber optic bundle is made to exhibit improved spatial and contrast resolution by shaping the face of the smaller of the two faces of the fiber optic bundle to match the curvature found to be present in commercially available CCD's of a size necessary to achieve the resolution required for radiographic imaging.
