Abstract:
CBCT including monolithic photon counting FPD for medical applications requiring real-time 3D imaging, like mammography, interventional guided procedures or external beam radiotherapy, includes CMOS processed readout electronics monolithically integrated with a single crystalline X-ray absorber by covalent wafer bonding near room temperature and adapted for single photon counting providing high energy, temporal and spatial resolution.

Claim (Index 22):
A method for performing cone beam computer tomography (CBCT), the method comprising steps of\n a. providing at least one X-ray source; b. forming a monolithic FPD by covalently bonding at least one single crystal absorber wafer to at least one CMOS processed readout wafer; c. disposing the FPD and at least one device providing data collection, computation and storage functionality to provide single-photon counting capability; d. with the at least one X-ray source and the FPD mounted on a C-arm and a patient positioned in an appropriate operation position, activating the at least one readout wafer to communicate with the at least one device providing data collection, computation and storage functionality; e. disposing the at least one device to receive electrical signals from the FPD, and f. scanning the patient; and g. generating computed tomography images on at least one computer screen.
