A solid state x-ray detector which is a two-dimensional array of individual pixel, elements is described. The hybrid semiconductor construction produces detector elements with high spatial resolution (< 30 microns) high sensitivity to the , entire , x-ray spectrum and frame rates greater than 1000 Hz. In a biomedical application, these arrays provide high quality real time distal radiographic images that are, directly coupled to an image processing system for image enhancement and computer sided diagnosis. In an alternative embodiment of the invention the , hybrid, construction incorporated into an automated manufacturing process facilitates the, real time, nondestructive, x-ray …

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 3, 1993 and granted September 14, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 3, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 3, 2015.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
