Patent attributes
A wireless X-ray detector for a digital radiography system with remote detection of impinging radiation from the system X-ray source onto a sensor panel having amorphous or crystalline silicon photodiodes or metal insulated semiconductor (MIS) sensors. Certain exemplary embodiments described herein can provide a digital radiography detector including a housing having first and second spaced members and side walls defining a cavity; a radiographic image detector assembly mounted within the cavity for converting a radiographic image to an electronic radiographic image, wherein the detector assembly includes a scintillator screen and a detector imaging array; and a light guiding element positioned proximate the radiographic image detector assembly to detect a start of exposure, a termination of the exposure, dose for the exposure or rate of dose for the exposure using light generated by the scintillator screen.
