Patent attributes
An apparatus for digital radiography has a cassette adapted to obtain a digital image of a subject in response to incident radiation when receiving source power through an input power connector and adapted to provide the obtained digital image as output from a first data connector. A support tray is adapted to removably seat the cassette and has a second data connector that releasably engages with the first data connector on the cassette when the cassette is seated in the support tray. A wireless communication circuit in the support tray is energizable to transmit the digital image obtained from first data connector of the cassette to a host processor. A battery in the tray provides source power to at least the wireless communication circuit on the support tray circuitry and the input power connector of the seated cassette.
