Abstract:X-rays are used in medical imaging to acquire information from inside the human body. The quality of the information is affected by the tube voltage responsible for X-ray penetration and contrast as well as the tube load which affects image noise. Another important part is the X-ray detector. It consists either of a scintillator component coupled to semiconductor (indirect detection) or only of a semiconductor part that directly converts the X-rays to electron-hole pairs which impinge onto an electronic circui… Show more
