Abstract
A flexible cable connection for a detector module is described. The flexible cable allows photodiode output signals to be coupled to the CT system without the need of attaching a pin connector to the photodiode outputs. Wires from the flexible cable are wire bonded to the photodiode output signals eliminating possible damage to the photodiode when the pin connector is attached.
