Patent ID: 6934360

Claim:
A radiological image detection system configured to cooperate with a scanning X-ray generator designed to produce X-ray radiation scanning a surface to be imaged, the X-ray radiation irradiating, portion after portion, the surface to be imaged, the X-ray radiation from a portion carrying a radiological image of the portion, comprising: an image sensor that is stationary with respect to the scanning and dimensioned to acquire an image of an entire surface to be imaged by the X-ray radiation from the portions; means for electronically limiting, at a given time, acquisition of the image sensor to an area corresponding to an irradiated portion at that given time, the means for limiting acting in synchronism with the scanning and in geometrical correspondence with the irradiated portion, wherein the means for limiting is integrated with the image sensor, wherein the image sensor is formed from a plurality of solid-state photosensitive sensor pixels, and wherein the means for limiting controls, just before a portion is irradiated, erasure of the sensor pixels corresponding to the light image of an irradiated portion, and reading of the pixels just after the portion is irradiated.
