Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The type of flat-panel detector described in the question, which uses thin films of silicon integrated with arrays of photodiodes, is known as an amorphous silicon detector. CsI detectors use scintillators made of cesium iodide to convert X-rays into light, while CCD (charge-coupled device) and CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) are types of image sensors used in digital cameras and other electronic devices.
