ABSTRACT:
A large solid state sensor assembly is formed from a plurality of smaller solid state sensors which are positioned contiguously to each other. The large solid state sensor assembly is preferably a solid state X-ray assembly and includes at least a first solid state sensor having an X-ray detector region and a blind non-detector border region, and a second solid state sensor having an X-ray detector region and a blind non-detector border region. The second sensor is positioned adjacent to the first sensor with respective non-detector regions being contiguous. A third solid state sensor having an X-ray detector region, is positioned to overlie the first and second solid state sensors so that the X-ray detector region of the third sensor overlies the blind non-detector regions of the first and second sensors. Thus, a large continuous X-ray detector region formed of said first, second, and third sensor detector regions is provided. The three sensors have a plurality of solid state detectors, with the detectors of the third sensor being smaller in size then the detectors of first and second sensors.
