Abstract

The rising and falling edges of detected signal pulses have been measured utilizing X-ray ionization of a planar Cd1-xZnxTe system under different irradiation geometries. The results indicate that the time response of the CdZnTe based X-ray system is suitable for digital fluoroscopic applications. Enhanced timing characteristics can be obtained by optimizing the detector transport characteristics.
