Split scan line and combined data line x-ray detectors

An x-ray detector comprising:

• a plurality of pixels receiving x-rays;
• at least one scan line activating said plurality of pixels;
• and
• a plurality of data lines conducting charge indicative of said x-rays, said plurality of data lines having at least two data lines that are coupled to each other;
• wherein at least one data line of said plurality of data lines comprises;
• a first side coupled to a first set of pixels;
• and
• a second side coupled to a second set of pixels.

An x-ray system comprising:

• an x-ray detector comprising;
• a plurality of pixels receiving x-rays;
• at least one split scan line activating said plurality of pixels, each of said at least one split scan line having a first pixel scan set and a second pixel scan set;
• and
• at least one data line conducting charge indicative of said x-rays;
• a readout circuit electrically coupled to said at least one data line and generating x-ray signals in response to said indication;
• and
• a controller electrically coupled to said readout circuit and generating an x-ray image in response to said x-ray signals.

A method of operating an x-ray detector comprising:

• activating a plurality of pixels via at least one split scan line, each of said at least one split scan line having a plurality of separated activation lines that are associated with a row of said plurality of pixels;
• receiving x-rays;
• and
• indicating extent of said x-rays via at least one data line.
