Patent ID: 7372017

Claim:
A method for equalizing butting structures on a flat-plate x-ray detector when taking an x-ray image with the flat-plate x-ray detector, the detector being of the type wherein several plates are joined together and bonded to one another on a substrate in a pattern of rows or columns about which butting structures of variable width are formed comprising: measuring the width along a butting structure at the flat-plate x-ray detector; determining values of a pixel quantity parameter of the butting structure at the flat-plate x-ray detector for an interpolation of a pixel data value wherein the values of the pixel quantity parameter are determined as a function butting structure width measured along a row or column; and performing the interpolation of the pixel data value in the x-ray image taken with the flat-plate x-ray detector wherein the number of pixels used in the interpolation is a function of the pixel quantity parameter.
