Patent ID: 7142638

Claim:
Apparatus for producing, storing and displaying a radioscopic image of an object under investigation comprising: a low power X-ray source configured to provide a sequence of X-ray radiation pulses directed at the object under investigation; an X-ray image sensor including an X-ray light converter screen that generates flashes of light in response to being impinged by X-ray radiation pulses; a substrate; a thin film transistor and photodiode matrix array overlying said substrate; and row and column drivers configured to drive the thin film transistor and photodiode matrix, the X-ray sensor configured to spatially sense the X-ray radiation pulses that pass through the object under investigation, and generate an image signal indicative thereof, the X-ray image sensor being further configured to integrate effects of the sequence of X-ray radiation pulses so that the image signal may be generated; an active matrix display, including driver circuit, configured to process analog image signals received from the X-ray image sensor to produce a digital image signal; and to display an image of the digital image signal.
