Embodiment Construction

[0012] One or more specific embodiments of the invention are described below. In an effort to provide a concise description of these embodiments, all features of an actual implementation may not be described in the specification. It should be recognized that in the development of any such actual implementation, as in any engineering or design project, a variety of implementation-specific decisions must be made to achieve the developer's specific goals, such as adhering to system-related and business-related constraints, which may vary by implementation. Moreover, it should be appreciated that such a development effort might be complex and time consuming, but would be a no more than a routine undertaking of design, assembly, and manufacture to those skilled in the art utilizing the present disclosure.

[0013] In certain embodiments, internal components of an imaging device (e.g., a digital x-ray device) are free-floating within an enclosure, with a shock absorbing material di...

Abstract

In one embodiment, a portable imaging device is provided with an enclosure, an imaging panel disposed in the enclosure, and shock absorbent material holding the imaging panel within the enclosure without a rigid connection between the imaging panel and the enclosure. In another embodiment, a portable imaging device is provided with a housing, an x-ray detector panel disposed in the housing, and shock absorbent material disposed between, and in contact with, both the housing and the x-ray detector panel, wherein the x-ray detector panel is generally free floating within the housing via the shock absorbent material.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to portable imaging devices, and more particularly to materials and construction of portable digital X-ray detectors. Background technique [0002] Portable imaging devices, such as portable X-ray detectors, often contain fragile components that can be very vulnerable to damage from physical impact or shock. For example, an imaging device may include a silicon or glass component, such as a silicon photodetector on a glass substrate (eg, an imaging panel). Typically, portable imaging devices include a relatively rigid enclosure that is rigidly attached to internal components. For example, the shield may be constructed from pieces of metal such as magnesium. Although the metal cover provides some degree of protection to the internal components, the cover is typically heavy and susceptible to damage due to various seams and mechanical connections in the design. Furthermore, rigidly attaching the internal componen...
