ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an X-ray image capturing element comprising a panel having a layered structure, including a conductive layer comprising a plurality of discrete microplates having dimensions coextensive with an image pixel and a plurality of access electrodes and electronic components built on the panel, which allow access to the microplates for capturing and reading out a latent radiographic image captured in the panel in the form of stored electrical charges.
