ABSTRACT:
A CdZnTe solid state detector application specific integrated circuit is used for detection of radiation. The chip and circuitry is under control of a main computer which provides control signals to a solid state detector chip module which provides threshold level and count information to the computer for processing into an image. The processed image may be a tomographic image and/or a multispectral image wherein image colors represent different energy bands of received x-rays. The information used from different energy band images is used to identify different materials contained in an object being scanned.
