ABSTRACT:
An X-ray image sensor with electronic, planar image converters covers a relatively large area without the occurrence of image gaps. A number of image converters adjoin one another in a surface, these being coupled to a scintillator via fiber optics. At least a part of the fiber optics proceeds at an angle deviating from 90.degree. relative to the image converters, such that the fiber optics adjoin one another at the scintillator but leave an area free at the image converters. This area is at the junction of two image converters that adjoin one another, and is thus an optically inactive region.
