ABSTRACT:
Included in a device for detecting radiation is an array of radiation-sensitive elements having respective outputs and circuitry for reading the outputs of such elements. The array of radiation-sensitive elements is preferably configured as a matrix of rows and columns of radiation-sensitive elements. Circuitry is provided to consecutively activate the columns; and circuitry is provided to generate a trigger signal depending on the occurrence of an amount of radiation above a threshold value. In this way the identity of a row in which an element is activated can be determined.
