Abstract:
A circuit ( 300 ) for detecting the appearance of x-rays with a view to triggering a radiological image capture, comprising a set ( 301 ) of photodiodes that is connected to a ground (G D ), an amplifying circuit ( 302 ) and a capacitor (C 2 ), the amplifying circuit ( 302 ) comprising an amplifier (AMP) and a voltage source (GEN) and being connected, via a first input, to the output of the set ( 301 ) of photodiodes, the capacitor (C 2 ) being connected between the ground (G D ) and a second input of the amplifier (AMP), the detecting circuit ( 300 ) being characterized in that the amplifying circuit ( 302 ) is configured to carry out in succession the steps of: Charging the capacitor (C 2 ) with a reference voltage (V ref ) generated by the voltage source (GEN); Isolating the second input of the amplifier (AMP) from the voltage source (GEN); and Integrating the current generated by the set ( 301 ) of photodiodes.

Claim (Index 13):
A radiological image sensor comprising a circuit for detecting the appearance of x-rays with a view to triggering a radiological image capture as comprising a set of photodiodes that is connected to a ground, an amplifying circuit and a capacitor, the amplifying circuit comprising an amplifier and a voltage source and being connected, via a first input, to the output of the set of photodiodes, the capacitor being connected between the ground and a second input of the amplifier, and the amplifying circuit further comprising:\n Means for charging the capacitor with a reference voltage generated by the voltage source during a first portion of an initializing phase of the detecting circuit; Means for isolating the second input of the amplifier from the voltage source during a second portion of the initializing phase of the detecting circuit; and A capacitor connected between the first input of the amplifying circuit and the output of the amplifier in order to integrate the current generated by the set of photodiodes during a detecting phase following the second portion of the initializing phase.
