Patent ID: 7289601

Claim:
A digital image capturer for receiving X-rays and providing digital image data corresponding to the received X-rays, the digital image capturer comprising: a light generator for receiving the X-rays and for emitting light in response to the received X-rays; a first planar reflector for reflecting the emitted light, an orientation of the first planar reflector defined by a first vector, the first vector normal to the first planar reflector, a second planar reflector positioned for receiving the emitted light from the first planar reflector, and reflecting the emitted light, an orientation of the second planar reflector defined by a second vector, the second vector normal to the second planar reflector, the first vector and the second vector lying in different planes; and, a fast relay-optics system for receiving the emitted light from the second planar reflector and for focusing the emitted light onto a digital imaging device, the digital imaging device generating the digital image data.
