An imager includes: an array of imager elements configured to generate image signals based on radiation received by the imager; and circuit configured to perform readout of image signals, wherein the circuit is configured to be radiation hard. An imager includes: an array of imager elements configured to generate image signals based on the radiation received by the imager; and readout and control circuit coupled to the array of imager elements, wherein the readout and control circuit is configured to perform signal readout in synchronization with an operation of a treatment beam source.

Detector module designs for radiographic imaging include first and second layers of scintillator rods or pixel arrays oriented in first and second directions. The first and second directions are transversely oriented to define a light sharing region between the first and second layers. Encoding features may be disposed in, on or between the first and second layers, and configured to modulate propagation of optical signals therealong or therebetween.

Some embodiments include an x-ray detector, comprising: a plastic housing; a two-dimensional sensor array disposed in a within the plastic housing and configured to generate image data in response to incident x-rays; a front plate connected to the plastic housing, the front plate and the plastic housing forming an enclosure surrounding the two-dimensional sensor array; and a printed circuit board mounted to the plastic housing at a plurality of mount points. wherein a centroid of the printed circuit board is closer to a center of the plastic housing than a centroid of the mount points.

The present disclosure includes multiple ways of providing photodetector interconnectivity using, for example: a) single-layered thick or thin film ceramic substrate to change a node pitch from one facing to another, and/or b) direct bonding of photodiode circuit to a flex cable interconnect.

A digital radiographic detector includes a planar multi-layered core with a two-dimensional array of photo-sensitive cells. A five-sided, integrally formed, rigid enclosure having one open side is configured to receive the multi-layered core through the open side. The planar multi-layered core comprises a foam layer having a recessed pocket on one major side thereof shaped in the form of a metal ground plane positioned in the recessed pocket.

Disclosed herein are a scanning method and apparatus suitable for scanning a pipeline or process vessel in which a beam of gamma radiation from a source is emitted through the vessel to be detected by an array of detectors which are each collimated to detect radiation over a narrow angle relative to the width of the emitted radiation beam.

An image sensor array formed on a flexible first substrate is supported by a flexible second substrate attached thereto. The second substrate has a top surface with an adhesive thereon for attaching the substrates together. The adhesive is on a portion of the second substrate directly beneath the image sensor array to allow selective formation of the second substrate.
