- W2043934155 abstract "Purpose: A new concept of indirect conversion flat-panel imager with avalanche gain and field emitter array (FEA) readout is being investigated. It is referred to as scintillator avalanche photoconductor with high resolution emitter readout (SAPHIRE). The present work investigates the temporal performance, i.e., lag, of SAPHIRE. Methods: Since the temporal performance of the x-ray detection materials, i.e., the structured scintillator and avalanche amorphous selenium photoconductor, has been studied previously, the investigation is focused on lag due to the FEA readout method. The principle of FEA readout is similar to that of scanning electron beam readout used in camera tubes, where the dominant source of lag is the energy spread of electrons. Since the principles of emission and beam focusing methods for FEA are different from thermionic emission used in camera tubes, its electron beam energy spread and hence lag is expected to be different. In the present work, the energy spread of the electrons emitted from a FEA was investigated theoretically by analyzing different contributing factors due to the FEA design and operations: The inherent energy spread of field emission, the FEA driving pulse delay, and the angular distribution of emitted electrons. The electron energy spread determined the beam acceptance characteristic curve of the photoconductive target, i.e., the accepted beam current as a function of target potential , from which lag could be calculated numerically. Lag calculation was performed using FEA parameters of two prototype HARP-FEA image sensors, and the results were compared with experimental measurements. Strategies for reducing lag in SAPHIRE were proposed and analyzed. Results: The theoretical analysis shows that the dominant factor for lag is the angular distribution of electrons emitted from the FEA. The first frame lags for two prototype sensors with 4 and HARP layer thicknesses were 62.1% and 9.1%, respectively. A lag clearance procedure can be implemented by turning on all the FEA pixels simultaneously between subsequent frames without negative impact of readout speed. For large-area SAPHIRE, the bias electrode for the HARP needs to be divided into strips to allow parallel readout. With typical cardiac detector parameters, SAPHIRE with 128 parallel strips can provide real-time readout (30 frames/s) with first frame lag of . Conclusions: The investigation of lag in SAPHIRE shows that the angular distribution of emitted electrons from FEA can result in substantial lag if the readout was performed pixel by pixel. Effective strategies for reducing lag include dividing the bias electrode into multiple strips to allow parallel readout and the incorporation of rapid charge clearance procedure between subsequent frames or rows." @default.
