Misalignment compensation in dual X-ray imager

Last updated:

Abstract:

An X-ray sensing apparatus includes a first photodiode array for imaging a first area, a second photodiode array for imaging a second area that overlaps a portion of the first area, and a light-blocking layer coupled to the first photodiode array that prevents at least a portion of visible light emitted by a scintillator layer of the X-ray sensing apparatus from reaching the second photodiode array. The light-blocking layer includes a first feature that is imagable by the second photodiode array and indicates a position along a first direction and a second feature that is imagable by the second photodiode array and indicates a position along a second direction that is different than the first direction.
