Abstract
A portable x-ray detector is disclosed that includes an x-ray detecting member and a user removable electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding member. The user removable EMI shielding member is positioned to at least partially magnetically shield the x-ray detecting member of the portable x-ray detector by redirecting an impinging magnetic field around the x-ray detecting member. The user removable EMI shielding member includes a first magnetic shielding layer, a second magnetic shielding layer, and an intervening material, other than the x-ray detecting member, between the first magnetic shielding layer and the second magnetic shielding layer.
