Abstract
In a flat X-ray detector, Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is reduced by either opening a pickup loop between the common lines (28) and the reference plane (29) of the PCB, or by reducing the size of a pickup loop by providing a permanent connection (33) between the common supply line and the reference plane (29) in respect of each row of photoconductors (12).
Claims12
An X-ray detector comprising at least one photoconductor (12) for generating charge dependent on the intensity of X-rays incident on said detector, and at least one supply line (28) for providing an input to said at least one photoconductor (12), said supply line (28) being connected at one end to a reference (29) and no electrical connection being provided at the other end of said at least one supply line (28).
An X-ray detector comprising a plurality of rows of photoconductors (12) comprising two end rows and a plurality of intermediate rows, each row comprising at least one photoconductor (12), each row having associated therewith a readout line (20) for carrying a charge signal dependent on the intensity of X-rays incident on said detector, and a common line (28) connected to a common supply line, a permanent connection being provided between said common supply line and a common reference plane (29) in respect of an end row and at least one intermediate row.
