Abstract

The contrast sensitivity and dynamic range of Cd1-xZnxTe semiconductor detectors have been measured, within the x-ray diagnostic energy range, using a contrast sensitivity phantom. The aim of this study is to optimize the image quality parameters of these solid state-ionization devices for flat panel digital radiographic applications. The experimental results of this study indicate that Cd1-xZnxTe detectors have excellent contrast sensitivity response and large dynamic range.
