Abstract
An x-ray detector includes a scintillator, a sensor array, processing circuits, and a ceramic layer. The ceramic layer overlays the processing circuits. The pixel architecture of the detector utilizes a technique similar to a CCD array to shift date from the array. The pixel charges are read out in a quasi-random fashion. The detector preferably utilizes edge-to-edge sensor array having octagonal pixels with a high fill factor.
