Flaechiger Roentgendetektor

DE 102005012443 A1 UPAB: 20061109 NOVELTY - The detector has a photo diode arrangement with a lateral unstructured photodiode layer (3), and two electrodes (4, 5) arranged on both sides of the layer. The photodiode layer is formed as P-i-N photodiode layer. A scintillator layer (6) extends over the diode arrangement and arranged on one of the two electrodes. A laser beam source with a deflecting unit is provided for selectively photo excitation of the photodiode layer. USE - Used in medicine in a picture-giving diagnostic e.g. radiological diagnostic such as x-ray and mammography, surgery and radiotherapy. ADVANTAGE - The configuration of the x-ray detector facilitates the manufacture of the detector in a cost-effective manner with low technological expenditure
