Abstract
A portable X-ray detector unit (10) comprising a detection panel (12) housed within a cassette (14), wherein a margin is provided around the detection panel (12), between a peripheral edge thereof and the inner wall of the cassette (14), at at least the corners (16) of the detection panel (12) such that shock absorption functionality may be provided at at least those corners (16), at least one side (18) of the unit (10) having little or no margin so as to maximise the active area of the unit (10) at that side (18) and enable harder-to-reach areas of a subject (200) to be imaged.
Claims9
A portable radiation detector unit (10), comprising a detection panel (12) housed within a cassette (14), said detection panel (12) being arranged and configured to receive radiation transmitted through a subject (200) to be imaged and generate an image signal representative of the intensity distribution of said received radiation, wherein a margin for providing shock absorption is provided between an inner wall of said cassette and a peripheral edge of said detection panel at at least one corner (16) thereof, with substantially no margin or a reduced margin being provided along at least a portion of one side (18) thereof.
