Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A tiled imager panel is disclosed. In certain embodiments, the tiled imager panel is formed from separate imager chips that are mechanically tiled together so as to minimize the gap between the tiled imager chips. In addition, in certain embodiments, a scintillator material associated with the tiled imager panel is in a hermetically sealed environment so as to be protected from moisture.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).
