Abstract:
1. An x-ray detector comprising: an x-ray detection layer configured to output electrical signals in response to reception of x-rays; a circuit board having a plurality of electronic components configured to at least control readout of the electrical signals from the x-ray detection layer; a cover assembly enclosing the x-ray detection layer and the circuit board, the cover assembly having a top cover and a bottom cover opposite the top cover, wherein the x-ray detection layer is positioned to receive x-rays that pass through the top cover; a first impact-absorbing material enclosed within the cover assembly and having at least one portion thereof positioned between the top cover and the x-ray detection layer; and a second impact-absorbing material having a substantially planar surface enclosed within the cover assembly and having at least one portion thereof positioned between the bottom cover and the circuit board.
