Abstract
A method for coupling an X-ray image detector to an X-ray image receptor is provided. The method includes providing at least two image detectors. The two image detectors each have at least one inner edge for substantial inner edge contact between the at least two image detectors to form a detector array. The two image detectors each have at least one outer edge to form an outside perimeter of the detector array. The method further includes coupling an area proximate the outside perimeter of the detector array to the image receptor.
