Advanced X-ray Detector Technologies: Design and Applications

This book offers readers an overview of some of the most recent advances  in the field of detectors for X-ray imaging. Coverage includes both  technology and applications, with an in-depth review of the research  topics from leading specialists in the field. Emphasis is on high-Z  materials like CdTe, CZT and perovskites, since they offer the best  implementation possibilities for direct conversion X-ray detectors.   Authors discuss material challenges, detector operation physics and  technology and readout integrated circuits required to detect signals  processes by high-Z sensors.
