Abstract:
1. A digital X-ray detector comprising: a scintillator configured to absorb radiation emitted from an X-ray radiation source and to emit light photons in response to the absorbed radiation; and a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) light imager configured to absorb the light photons emitted by the scintillator, wherein the CMOS light imager comprises a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface is disposed opposite the second surface, and the scintillator contacts the first surface of the CMOS light imager; wherein the CMOS light imager comprises a CMOS pixel array with an array of CMOS pixels, wherein each individual CMOS pixel comprises at least two row select transistors; and wherein the at least two row select transistors are connected in series.
