Medical x-ray sensitive apparatus based on CCDs

Charge-coupled devices have possibility to sense X-rays. The X-ray sensitivity of CCDs is higher than the same for X-ray films. We have designed the experimental miniaturized X-ray CCD camera for dental practice and diagnosis. The CCD analog output signals converse to a digital form, the digital signals are processing by a computer and visible images are forming at the display. The problems of creation and design of X-ray sensitive large format CCD cameras for hard and cancer diagnosis are described.
