ABSTRACT:
An X-ray image acquisition apparatus includes a panel having a first electrode, a second electrode, and a photoconductor secured between said first and second electrodes. The photoconductor has a thickness configured to absorb X-ray radiation at a high energy level. The first and second electrodes are configured to create an electric field for transporting charges created in the photoconductor to a pixel unit, thereby allowing charges to be efficiently collected when low or high energy X-ray radiation is used.
