Patent ID: 7606346

Claim:
A CT imaging system comprising: a gantry having a bore therethrough designed to receive a patient being translated through the bore; an x-ray source disposed in the gantry and configured to emit x-rays toward the patient; and a detector module disposed in the gantry to receive x-rays signals attenuated by the patient, wherein the detector module further comprises: a sensor element to convert the x-ray signals to corresponding electrical signals; at least one bias voltage control connected to the sensor element to provide functionality to dynamically control a sensor pixel configuration in the detector module; a data acquisition system (DAS) to condition the electrical signals, the DAS comprising at least one integrated circuit on an electronic substrate, the DAS further connected to the at least one bias voltage control; and an interconnect system to couple the sensor element, the at least one integrated circuit, and the electronic substrate, wherein the interconnect system includes a first contact pad interconnect and one of a wire bonds interconnect and a second contact pad interconnect.
