Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a flexible radiation detector that provides improved radiation imaging. More specifically, the radiation detector provides improved radiation imaging by minimizing noise in the signal generated internally by the radiation detector. Background Technology

[0002] Flexible radiation detectors are a relatively new area of ​​development in the field of radiation imaging. The concept of flexible radiation detectors existed decades ago, but recently, with the advancement of materials science and engineering, radiation detectors with flexibility and waterproof capabilities are being formally developed.

[0003] Recently, researchers and developers have focused on developing radiation detectors. Traditional flexible radiation detectors may have been less sensitive to radiation than conventional ones. This is because flexible radiation detectors use thinner, more flexible raw materials, which may be less sensitive to radiation than the materials used in conventional planar radiation detectors.

[0004] Furthermore, conventional bendable radiation detectors exhibit image distortion compared to ordinary radiation detectors. This is because the various structures used for bending and the possibility of short circuits make it difficult to ensure adequate grounding.

[0005] Furthermore, flexible radiation detectors involve complex electronic circuitry and various hardware structures to accommodate bending, which increases the difficulty of manufacturing.

[0006] For the reasons mentioned above, it is difficult to develop flexible radiation detectors that are waterproof and can be used even in harsh environments. Summary of the Invention

[0044] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which will enable those skilled in the art to readily implement the present disclosure. Furthermore, for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present disclosure in the drawings, parts unrelated to the description have been omitted.

[0045] Figure 1 A diagram illustrating a radiation detector according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 A diagram illustrating a radiation detector according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0046] The following is for reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Explain the radiation detector. Figure 1 The control board 210 and control board bracket 220 are omitted for ease of explanation. Figure 2 The diagram is omitted for ease of explanation, as the back elastic sheath 124 and the side elastic sheath 125 are not shown.

[0047] The radiation detector 100 disclosed herein can be a flexible device with a waterproof structure for detecting radiation. First, the radiation detector 100 can detect radiation emitted from a radiation source and passing through a subject. The radiation may include at least one of X-rays, gamma rays, and a portion of ultraviolet light. The radiation detector 100 can detect radiation and obtain a radiation image of the subject. For example, the radiation image obtained by the radiation detector 100 may include at least one of X-ray images and computed tomography (CT) images. The radiation detector 100 of this disclosure may include a bending support 120, providing waterproof functionality and being flexible. The bending support 120 will be described in detail later.

[0048] The radiation detector 100 may include a radiation detection panel 110. The radiation detection panel can be classified according to the method of obtaining the electrical signal as an indirect conversion type that uses a scintillator to obtain an indirect electrical signal using visible light, and a direct conversion type that uses photoconductors to obtain a direct electrical signal from radiation. It can also be classified according to the type of device that generates the electrical signal as a CCD type using a charge-coupled device, a CMOS type using a crystalline silicon CMOS device, and an a-Si type using an amorphous silicon thin film transistor (TFT) substrate.

[0049] The radiation detector 100, including the radiation detection panel 110, has multiple sensors and can realize digital image data through the electrical signals and position information of the sensors, which are proportional to the incident radiation. The radiation detector 100 can obtain near real-time imaging results, ensuring high resolution and a wide dynamic range with relatively low radiation. Due to the characteristics of digital data, the storage and processing of imaging results are simple. The radiation detector 100 includes a readout signal unit that reads electrical signals output from the pixel array and a gate driver that turns on switching devices. The readout signal unit reads the electrical signals, and the electrical signals detected by the readout signal unit are converted into image signals through a predetermined process in a controller or similar device installed on the main board, and then transmitted to a display device for displaying X-ray images.

[0050] The radiation detection panel 110 can extend in a first direction. The first direction can be to the left, but is not limited to this; it can also be to the right. The radiation detection panel 110 can detect radiation incident on a first surface. Here, the first surface can mean the front (front side) of the radiation detection panel 110. The radiation detection panel 110 can be flexible. That is, the radiation detection panel is flexible and can be bent. When the surface of the object being photographed has a circular surface, the radiation detection panel 110 may bend and fit snugly against the surface of the object. Because the radiation detection panel 110 is snugly against the surface of the object, the sharpness of the radiation image may be increased.

[0051] The radiation detector 100 may include a bending support 120. The bending support 120 may be in contact with at least one of a first surface, a second surface facing the first surface, and a third surface other than the first and second surfaces of the radiation detection panel 110. The second surface may refer to the back surface of the radiation detection panel 110. The third surface may refer to a side surface of the radiation detection panel. For example, the third surface may include at least one of a top surface, a left side surface, a right side surface, and a bottom surface.

[0052] The bending support 120 serves as a structure to protect the radiation detection panel 110. The radiation detection panel 110 is a sensitive component and is therefore easily damaged by external impacts, which can degrade the quality of the radiation image. Furthermore, even if external substances enter the radiation detection panel 110, the quality of the radiation image may still be reduced, or the structures included in the radiation detector 100 may be damaged. The bending support 120 prevents damage to the radiation detection panel 110 and the circuitry included in the radiation detector 100 from external impacts, mitigates external impacts, and prevents external substances from entering the interior of the radiation detector 100.

[0053] Furthermore, the bending support 120 can support the radiation detection panel 110. As described above, the radiation detection panel 110 is flexible and bendable, so without the bending support 120, it may be difficult for the radiation detection panel 110 to remain stationary relative to the subject. This is because the radiation detection panel 110 is easily deformed by the movement of the subject or external forces. Therefore, the bending support 120 can be a structure that supports the radiation detection panel 110 to maintain a predetermined shape after bending. The bending support 120 can adjust the bending of the radiation detection panel 110 around a bending axis parallel to a second direction intersecting the first direction. That is, the radiation detection panel 110 will also bend in accordance with the degree of bending of the bending support 120. The second direction can be an upward direction. However, it is not limited to this; the second direction can also be a downward direction.

[0054] The bending support 120 may include various structures for the operation of the radiation detector 100. For example, the bending support 120 may include at least one of a control unit, a communication unit, an input unit, and an output unit for the operation of the radiation detector 100. For example, the bending support 120 may include a control board 210, which may include at least one of a control unit, a communication unit, an input unit, and an output unit. The control board is shown in... Figure 2 In the middle. And, as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the radiation detection panel 110 can be embedded in the curved support portion 120. However, it is not limited to this.

[0055] The bending support 120 may include at least one of a main board 121, a conductive pad 122, a front panel 123, a rear elastic sleeve 124, and a side elastic sleeve 125.

[0056] The following describes in detail the structure included in the bending support 120.

[0057] Figure 3 A diagram showing a portion of a curved support 120 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0058] The radiation detector 100 may include a mainboard 121. The mainboard 121 may support the radiation detection panel 110. Furthermore, the mainboard 121 may be plate-shaped. Therefore, the flexible radiation detection panel 110 can maintain its plate shape. The mainboard 121 is also flexible, so the mainboard 121 can be bent together with the radiation detection panel 110. The mainboard 121 is plate-shaped, but at least a portion may have a through-hole 320 for cables connecting the radiation detection panel 110 and the control board 210 to pass through.

[0059] The raw material for the main board 121 can be a thin sheet of composite material containing one or more of the following: carbon, stainless steel, copper, and carbon tool steel. The carbon tool steel that can be used for the main board 121 can be one of SK1, SK2, SK3, SK4, SK5, SK6, and SK7. To improve the surface hardness of the main board 121, the above-mentioned raw materials can also undergo post-processing. For example, heat treatment, PVD, DLC, etc., can be applied to the raw materials. The main board 121 can maintain its flexibility while returning to its original shape using the raw materials described above.

[0060] Furthermore, the motherboard 121 may be conductive. Also, the motherboard 121 may be electrically connected to the control board 210. More specifically, the motherboard 121 may be electrically connected to the ground of the control board 210, compensating for insufficient ground area of ​​the control board 210. Based on the ground area of ​​the motherboard 121, the noise of the radiated image can be significantly reduced.

[0061] The motherboard 121 can be located on the opposite side of the radiation detection panel 110 in a third direction. The third direction can mean the front. That is, the opposite side of the radiation detection panel 110 in a third direction can mean the back of the radiation detection panel 110. In other words, the radiation detection panel 110 can be located in front of the motherboard 121.

[0062] At least a portion of the radiation detection panel 110 may be bonded to at least a portion of the front surface of the motherboard 121. An adhesive surface 310 may be present in a region of the front surface of the motherboard 121 opposite to the first direction. However, this is not a limitation; an adhesive surface 310 may also be present in a region of the front surface of the motherboard 121 opposite to the first direction. Furthermore, at least one of the regions of the front surface of the motherboard 121 either opposite to a second direction or opposite to the second direction may have an adhesive surface 310.

[0063] The adhesive surface 310 of the motherboard 121 can be bonded to at least a portion of the back surface of the radiation detection panel 110 using an adhesive. The adhesive can be double-sided tape, adhesive, hook and loop fastener, or silicone, etc. According to various embodiments of this disclosure, a hardware bonding structure is formed on the adhesive surface 310, which can also be hardware bonded to the radiation detection panel 110. The adhesive surface 310 is located in a region biased towards a first direction of the motherboard 121 or in a region biased towards the opposite direction of the first direction, and one side of the motherboard 121 can be bonded to one side of the radiation detection panel 110. That is, one side of the radiation detection panel 110 can be fixed relative to the motherboard 121. Furthermore, the other side of the radiation detection panel 110 is not bonded to the motherboard 121, so that when the radiation detector 100 bends, the other side of the radiation detection panel 110 can move relative to the motherboard 121. That is, the adhesive surface 310 is biased to one side, so the motherboard 121 and the radiation detection panel 110 allow the radiation detector 100 to bend. Furthermore, when the radiation detector 100 is bent, the radiation detection panel 110 may not be damaged by the motherboard 121.

[0064] The motherboard 121 may have a detection panel guide (not shown). The detection panel guide extends horizontally and may be formed on at least a portion of the upper and lower sides of the motherboard 121. The detection panel guide may be C-shaped or have the C-shape reversed horizontally to surround at least a portion of at least one of the upper and lower sides of the radiation detection panel 110. The detection panel guide can serve as a movement channel for the radiation detection panel 110 when the radiation detector 100 is bent. Even if the radiation detector 100 is repeatedly bent and unfolded due to the detection panel guide, the radiation detection panel 110 can always bend or unfold in the same shape. Therefore, the radiation detector 100 can always obtain a uniform radiation image.

[0065] According to various embodiments of this disclosure, the adhesive surface 310 may be located at the center of the motherboard 121, and... Figure 3 The situation is different. In this case, the center of the radiation detection panel 110 can be fixed relative to the main board 121. Furthermore, when the radiation detector 100 bends, the radiation detector 100 can bend as one side and the other side of the radiation detection panel 110 move relative to the main board 121.

[0066] The mainboard 121 may include a cable pass-through hole 320. The cable pass-through hole 320 can serve as a connection channel for connecting the detector cable between the radiation detection panel 110 and the control board 210. The control board 210 may be located on the back of the mainboard 121. The rear may be in the opposite direction to the third direction.

[0067] and Figure 2 Refer to together Figure 3 A control board bracket 220 for attaching the control board 210 can be attached to the back of the motherboard 121. The control board bracket 220 can form a space for storing and fixing the control board 210. The control board bracket 220 can be threadedly fixed to the motherboard 121. Furthermore, the control board 210 can be threadedly fixed to the control board bracket 220.

[0068] The control board 210 can be electrically connected to the radiation detection panel 110 via a detector cable. One end of the detector cable is connected to the radiation detection panel 110, and the detector cable passes through the cable through hole 320. The other end of the detector cable is connected to the control board 210 housed inside the control board bracket 220.

[0069] The control board 210 can transmit and receive signals with the radiation detection panel 110. Furthermore, the grounding wire of the control board 210 can be electrically connected to at least one of the control board bracket 220 and the main board 121. That is, the grounding area of ​​the control board 210 is widened, and the noise in the radiation image can be greatly reduced.

[0070] Re-reference Figure 3 The radiation detector 100 may include a conductive pad 122. The conductive pad 122 may be bonded to at least a portion of the front side of the motherboard 121. The conductive pad 122 may be disposed along a side of the radiation detection panel 110. The side side may be any surface other than the front and back sides of the conductive pad 122. For example, the side side may be a top surface, a left side surface, a right side surface, or a bottom surface. The conductive pad 122 may be formed along the periphery (edge) of the motherboard 121. The entire back side (rear side) of the conductive pad 122 may be in surface contact with the motherboard 121. However, it is not limited to this; at least a portion of the conductive pad 122 may be in contact with at least a portion of the periphery of the motherboard 121.

[0071] The conductive pad 122 can be made of a material that is both conductive and flexible, and can be bent. For example, the conductive pad 122 can be made of conductive silicon material. For example, the conductive pad 122 can be made using silicone resin (NBR, EPDM, etc.).

[0072] A panel receiving hole 330 for accommodating the radiation detection panel 110 may be formed at the center of the conductive pad 122. The conductive pad 122 may have a closed curve shape, but is not limited to this. The radiation detection panel 110 may be accommodated in the panel receiving hole 330 of the conductive pad 122, and the conductive pad 122 may be shaped to surround the radiation detection panel 110. The conductive pad 122 may not be in contact with the radiation detection panel 110. The conductive pad 122 may not be coupled to the radiation detection panel 110. The area on the main board 121 that is coupled to the radiation detection panel 110 and the area that is coupled to the conductive pad 122 may not overlap. However, it is not limited to this; the conductive pad 122 may also be in contact with or coupled to the radiation detection panel 110.

[0073] The conductive pad 122 can be electrically connected to the main board 121. As described above, the main board 121 can increase the grounding area of ​​the control board 210. The conductive pad 122 can also be connected to the main board 121 to increase the grounding area. As described above, with the increase of the grounding area, the noise of the radiated image may be reduced.

[0074] The conductive pad 122 can be bonded to the front of the motherboard 121. Both the conductive pad 122 and the radiation detection panel 110 can be bonded to the front of the motherboard 121. Furthermore, the entire back of the conductive pad 122 can be bonded to the motherboard 121. However, this is not a limitation; at least a portion of the back of the conductive pad 122 can be bonded to at least a portion of the motherboard 121. The conductive pad 122 can be soldered to the motherboard 121, or bonded using conductive double-sided tape or conductive adhesive. However, this is not a limitation; the conductive pad 122 can be bonded to the hardware structure of the motherboard 121. For example, the conductive pad 122 can be threaded onto the motherboard 121. The motherboard 121 can be treated to improve the conductivity of the portion bonded to the conductive pad 122 to facilitate electrical connection. For example, the motherboard 121 can undergo laser stripping treatment on the portion bonded to the conductive pad 122. For the purpose of illustrating the motherboard 121, refer to [reference needed]. Figure 4 .

[0075] Figure 4 This refers to a motherboard according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0076] Reference Figure 4 The motherboard 121 may include an untreated stripped portion 410 and a stripped portion 420. The untreated stripped portion 410 may contact the radiation detection panel 110. Furthermore, at least a portion of the untreated stripped portion 410 may have an adhesive surface 310 formed thereon. Therefore, at least a portion of the untreated stripped portion 410 may be bonded to the radiation detection panel 110.

[0077] The stripping processing section 420 of the motherboard 121 can be a part that is combined with the conductive pad 122. The stripping processing section 420 can perform a process to improve conductivity. Therefore, the motherboard 121 can be electrically connected to the conductive pad 122 with low resistance.

[0078] The untreated portion 410 of the motherboard 121 may have a bracket engagement hole 430 for engaging with the control board bracket 220. Furthermore, the untreated portion 420 of the motherboard 121 may have a threaded engagement hole 440 for threaded engagement with at least one of the conductive pad 122 and the front panel 123. At least one of the motherboard 121, the conductive pad 122, and the front panel 123 may be electrically connected to each other via conductive threads.

[0079] The motherboard 121 can be formed as a single piece. That is, the motherboard 121 can have the shape of a single panel, rather than being a combination of multiple structures. For example, the motherboard 121 can be manufactured by cutting or folding a sheet of pre-defined raw material. However, it is not limited to this.

[0080] Re-reference Figure 3 The radiation detector 100 may include a front panel 123. The front panel 123 may be bonded to the front of a conductive pad 122. The entire front of the conductive pad 122 may be bonded to the front panel 123. However, this is not a limitation; at least a portion of the front of the conductive pad 122 may be bonded to at least a portion of the front panel 123. The conductive pad 122 may be soldered to the front panel 123 or bonded using conductive double-sided tape or conductive adhesive. However, this is not a limitation; the conductive pad 122 may be integrated with the hardware structure of the front panel 123. For example, the conductive pad 122 may be threaded onto the front panel 123.

[0081] The front panel 123 can be electrically connected to the conductive pad 122. The portion of the front panel 123 that connects to the conductive pad 122 may be treated to improve conductivity, facilitating electrical connection. For example, the portion of the front panel 123 that connects to the conductive pad 122 may undergo laser stripping treatment. The conductive pad 122 can be electrically connected to the front panel 123. As described above, the main board 121 can expand the grounding area of ​​the control board 210. The front panel 123 can also be connected to the main board 121 via the conductive pad 122, further expanding the grounding area.

[0082] As described above, the noise in the radiation image can be reduced by increasing the grounding area. More specifically, the control board 210 may generate overcurrent or leakage current. In the case of the radiation detector 100, noise may be generated in the image due to the current emitted from at least one of the radiation detection panel 110 and the control board 210. Furthermore, due to the emitted current, some chip material in the control board 210 may overheat. The radiation detector 100 of this disclosure can ensure grounding in the portion that obstructs voltage flow using the front panel 123, conductive pad 122, and main board 121, allowing current to flow to that area to prevent the radiation detector 100 from overheating and outputting a high-quality radiation image.

[0083] The front panel 123 covers the front of the radiation detection panel 110. The back of the radiation detection panel 110 is covered by the main board 121, the sides of the radiation detection panel are surrounded by conductive pads 122, and the front of the radiation detection panel 110 is covered by the front panel 123. That is, the radiation detection panel 110 can be sealed using the main board 121, conductive pads 122, and front panel 123. Of course, the main board 121 has cable penetration holes 320, but the cable penetration holes can be at least partially covered by the control board bracket 220. The combination of the main board 121, conductive pads 122, front panel 123, and control board bracket 220 can use an adhesive for waterproofing. In this way, the radiation detection panel 110 is surrounded by at least one of the main board 121, conductive pads 122, front panel 123, and control board bracket 220, thus realizing a primary waterproof structure for the radiation detector 100.

[0084] As described above, at least a portion of the radiation detection panel 110 can be bonded to the adhesive surface 310 of the main board 121. Only a portion of the radiation detection panel 110 is fixed to the main board 121, while the remaining portion can move freely within the space formed by the main board 121, the conductive pad 122, the front panel 123, and the control board bracket 220. Therefore, the radiation detector 100 can be bent without applying excessive force to the radiation detection panel 110, and the radiation detection panel 110 can be located in a fixed area inside the radiation detector 100. Furthermore, even if the radiation detector 100 is repeatedly bent and unfolded, the radiation detection panel 110 can always bend or unfold in the same shape within the space formed by the main board 121, the conductive pad 122, the front panel 123, and the control board bracket 220. Therefore, the radiation detector 100 can always obtain a uniform radiation image, and the user can easily obtain the desired radiation image.

[0085] The front panel 123 may be flexible. Therefore, the front panel 123 will also bend according to the bending of the radiation detection panel 110.

[0086] The front panel 123 may be located in a third direction relative to the radiation detection panel 110 to protect the radiation detection panel 110. The third direction may mean the front. The front panel 123 may have a wider area than the radiation detection panel 110 to cover it. The front panel 123 may not be fixed to the radiation detection panel 110. Furthermore, the front panel 123 is combined with a flexible conductive pad 122, thus allowing the front panel 123 to flexibly accommodate bending operations of the radiation detector 100. Even when the radiation detector 100 is bent using the flexible conductive pad 122, it will not detach from the conductive pad 122. Furthermore, even when the radiation detector 100 is bent or unfolded using the flexible conductive pad 122, the front panel 123 will not detach from the main board 121.

[0087] The front panel 123 is not directly connected to the radiation detection panel 110. Therefore, the front panel 123 only protects the radiation detection panel 110 and can prevent the front panel 123 from damaging the radiation detection panel 110.

[0088] Furthermore, the front panel 123 can be formed integrally. That is, the front panel 123 can have the shape of a single panel, rather than a combination of multiple structures. For example, the front panel 123 can be manufactured by cutting or folding a sheet of pre-defined raw material. However, it is not limited to this.

[0089] Figures 1 to 3 While not disclosed in the present invention, a front protective portion (not shown) may be included in front of the front panel 123 to protect the front panel 123. The front protective portion is detachable from the radiation detector. Since the front panel 123 is fixed to the radiation detector 100, there is a burden of needing to replace the radiation detector 100 when the front panel 123 is damaged. In particular, when the object being photographed is a rough object or the radiation detector 100 is used in harsh environments, the front panel 123 is likely to be damaged, potentially accelerating the replacement cycle of the radiation detector 100. The radiation detector 100 of this disclosure can be replaced by a replaceable front protective portion to contact or approach the object. Therefore, scratches will not appear on the front panel 123 but will appear on the front protective portion, allowing the user to easily maintain the radiation detector 100 simply by replacing the front protective portion. Furthermore, when a detachable front protective portion is provided, the radiation detection panel 110 can be doubly protected along with the front panel 123. That is, the radiation detector 100 of this disclosure has a detachable front protective part, which can further increase the durability of the radiation detector 100.

[0090] The thickness of the front panel 123 can be 0.1T or more but less than 1T. Furthermore, the raw material of the front panel 123 can be a radiation-transmitting material. Also, the raw material of the front panel 123 is a resilient material, meaning it can return to its original shape even when bent by external force. When the thickness of the front panel 123 exceeds 1.0T, the transmittance and yield strength decrease, making it difficult to use in a flexible radiation detector 100 and reducing the quality of the radiation image. Furthermore, when the thickness of the front panel 123 is less than 0.1T, it fails to function as a protective element, and its durability also decreases. The front panel 123 can have a transmittance of 85% or more. Furthermore, when the transmittance of the front panel 123 is less than 85%, high-energy radiation is required to obtain a radiation image, and excessive energy exposure adversely affects the control board 210 on the detector, potentially increasing the radiation exposure of the subject being photographed. To protect the control panel 210 from excessive energy exposure, when using a front panel 123 weighing 1T or more, there is a possibility that the front panel 123 may break or become irrecoverable upon bending. Furthermore, the yield strength of the front panel 123 can be 20MPa or more and 30MPa or less. For example, the yield strength of the front panel 123 can be 23MPa. Having the physical properties described above, the front panel 123 maintains appropriate elasticity when bent, allowing for repeated bending and flattening movements without affecting the radiation detection panel 110 and the control panel 210 of the radiation detector 100.

[0091] The raw material of the front panel 123 can be at least one of stainless steel sheet, copper sheet, and carbon tool steel. However, it is not limited to this; the raw material of the front panel 123 can be a sheet of composite material containing one or more of carbon, stainless steel, copper, and carbon tool steel. The carbon tool steel that can be used as the front panel 123 can be one of SK1, SK2, SK3, SK4, SK5, SK6, and SK7. To improve the surface hardness of the front panel 123, the above-mentioned raw materials can also be post-processed. For example, heat treatment, PVD, DLC, etc., can be applied to the raw materials. Using the raw materials and thickness described above, the front panel 123 can return to its original shape while maintaining its flexibility. Furthermore, it allows radiation to pass through, thus having almost no impact on the radiation image. Moreover, the front panel 123 can ensure sufficient strength to protect the radiation detection panel 110. Based on the raw materials and thickness of the front panel 123 described above, at least one of optimal flexibility, resilience, and radiation transmittance of the front panel 123 can be ensured, which has been experimentally proven.

[0092] Furthermore, by minimizing the contact or interaction between the front panel 123 and the radiation detection panel 110, damage to the radiation detection panel 110 caused by the front panel 123 can be minimized. This is because the front panel 123 can contact and approach the subject being photographed, and therefore can be subjected to a large external force, but since this external force is not transmitted to the radiation detection panel 110 through the front panel 123, damage to the radiation detection panel 110 can be minimized.

[0093] Re-reference Figure 2 The radiation detector 100 may include at least one of the following structures: a pixel array, a readout signal unit, a gate driver circuit unit, and a control board 210. The radiation detector 100 may include a light-receiving device that detects radiation (X-rays) to generate an electrical signal and a readout circuit unit that reads the generated electrical signal. The readout signal unit is implemented by multiple readout integrated circuits (ROICs) in the form of film, and each ROIC can be connected to the control board 210 via a connector. The readout circuit unit may be included in the radiation detection panel 110. The control unit can generate X-ray image data constituting an X-ray image after processing the electrical signal output from the readout circuit unit. The generated X-ray image data may be stored in a memory together with (or separately from) detector status information or X-ray imaging-related information. At least one of the controller and the memory may be included in the control board 210.

[0094] Furthermore, the control board 210 may include at least one of a power supply unit for supplying power to the detector and a communication unit for wired / wireless communication with external devices. Additionally, the control board 210 may also include a sensor unit for determining either the position or attitude of the detector.

[0095] In order to sequentially perform the task of detecting X-ray information on the radiation detector 100 and transmitting it to an external computer, the radiation detector 100 can use a power supply (or power source) and a data cable that transmits data communication simultaneously.

[0096] Furthermore, the control board 210 of the radiation detector 100 can perform wired / wireless data transmission via WiFi and Gigabit Ethernet. Additionally, the control unit of the radiation detector 100 can be connected to a workstation for communication, used to drive variables of the image sensor, etc.

[0097] like Figure 2 The combination of at least one of the radiation detection panel 110, main board 121, conductive pad 122, front panel 123, control board bracket 220, and control board 210 can be referred to as detector core module 230. The following describes a structure for further improving the waterproof performance of the radiation detector 100.

[0098] Figure 5A diagram showing a portion of a radiation detector according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 6 A cross-sectional view showing a portion of a radiation detector according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0099] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The radiation detector 100 may include a back elastic sheath 124. The back elastic sheath 124 may cover at least a portion of the back of the mainboard 121 of the detector core module 230, at least a portion of the sides of the mainboard 121, the sides of the conductive pads, the sides of the front panel, and at least one of the control board bracket. Furthermore, the back elastic sheath 124 may be made of an elastic material. For example, it may be made of at least one of rubber, silicone, and polyurethane.

[0100] Reference Figure 5 The back elastic sheath 124 may include a control panel storage portion 511. The control panel storage portion 511 may be a recessed shape for housing and protecting the control panel bracket 220. The control panel storage portion 511 may also house the control panel 210.

[0101] The back resilient sheath 124 may include a side protrusion 512. The side protrusion 512 may be the remaining portion of the back resilient sheath 124 other than the control panel housing 511. The side protrusion 512 may be formed along the edge of the back resilient sheath 124. The side protrusion 512 may include a forward-projecting structure to protect at least a portion of the sides of the motherboard 121, the sides of the conductive pad 122, and the sides of the front panel 123.

[0102] Reference Figure 6 Moving from rear to front, the control board bracket 220, main board 121, conductive pad 122, and front panel 123 are provided. When the back elastic sleeve 124 is not present, at least a portion of the back or at least a portion of the sides of the control board bracket 220, main board 121, conductive pad 122, and front panel 123 are exposed. The back elastic sleeve 124 can surround at least a portion of the back or at least a portion of the sides of the control board bracket 220, main board 121, conductive pad 122, and front panel 123. For example, the control board receiving portion 511 included in the back elastic sleeve 124 can surround the back and sides of the control board bracket 220. Furthermore, the side protrusions 512 included in the back elastic sleeve 124 can surround at least a portion of the back or at least a portion of the sides of the main board 121, conductive pad 122, and front panel 123. (See reference...) Figure 6 The front of the front panel 123 can be exposed to the outside.

[0103] Furthermore, the back elastic sheath 124 can be bonded to at least a portion of the back or side of the motherboard 121, conductive pad 122, and front panel 123 without the use of adhesive. This is to facilitate bending of the radiation detector 100.

[0104] In this way, the back elastic sleeve 124 can be a structure used to protect at least one of the back and sides of the detector core module 230. Furthermore, the back elastic sleeve 124 can prevent foreign objects from entering from at least one of the back and sides of the detector core module 230. The thickness of the back elastic sleeve 124 can be 0.5T or more and 3.0T or less. When the thickness of the back elastic sleeve 124 is less than 0.5T, it may easily tear when bent. Furthermore, when the thickness of the back elastic sleeve 124 is 3T or more, not only is bending difficult, but the increased length required to ensure forced bending may also cause deformation of other parts (wrinkling or stretching, deformation of the airtightness maintenance part leading to foreign object entry, etc.).

[0105] The following describes in more detail the structure of the fixed back elastic sleeve 124, main board 121, conductive pad 122 and front panel 123.

[0106] Figure 7 This refers to a portion of a radiation detector according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 8 This refers to a side elastic sheath according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Furthermore, Figure 9 This represents a cross-section of a portion of a radiation detector according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0107] Reference Figure 7 The radiation detector 100 may also include a side elastic sheath 125. Figure 7 This describes the process of combining the side elastic sheath 125 with the detector core module 230 which is combined with the back elastic sheath 124.

[0108] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 9 The side elastic sheath 125 may be formed along the side protrusion 512 of the back elastic sheath 124 to surround the side protrusion 512 formed on the side of the back elastic sheath 124.

[0109] Figure 8 (a) is a perspective view showing a portion of the side elastic sheath 125. (Refer to...) Figure 8(a) The inner circumferential surface of the side elastic sleeve 125 may include a side protective recess 810 for inserting the side protrusion 512. The side protective recess 810 may be formed along the side elastic sleeve 125. The side protective recess 810 may be formed between the front and back portions of the side elastic sleeve 125. The front portion is a side located in front of the side protective recess 810, and the back portion is another side located behind the side protective recess 810. The front and back portions may be almost parallel. The front and back portions may be connected by the side portions. By forming the front, back, and side portions of the side protective recess 810, the cross-section of the side elastic sleeve 125 may be C-shaped or a shape in which the C-shape is reversed left and right.

[0110] Figure 8 (b) is a front view showing a portion of the side elastic sheath 125. (Refer to...) Figure 8 (b) The corner portions of the side elastic sheath 125 may have diagonally formed cut lines 850. More specifically, the upper left, lower left, lower right, and upper right corners of the side elastic sheath 125 may include cut lines 850 to facilitate engagement with the side protrusions 512 of the back elastic sheath 124. According to the cut lines 850, the side elastic sheath 125 can be easily integrated with the detector core module 230 to which the back elastic sheath 124 is attached.

[0111] Reference Figure 8 (a) The side resilient sheath 125 may include a front recess 820. More specifically, the front recess 820 may be formed on the front side of the front portion of the side resilient sheath 125. The front recess 820 may be a structure for inserting a front base bracket 1010 into the front of the side resilient sheath 125. The front base bracket 1010 is a structure for securing the side resilient sheath 125 to the detector core module 230 to reinforce the waterproofing of the radiation detector 100. The size of the front recess 820 may be the same as the size of the front base bracket 1010.

[0112] Reference Figure 8 (a) At least one vertically extending curved groove 840 may be formed between a plurality of front recesses 820. The curved groove 840 may be a structure for assisting the radiation detector 100 in bending around an axis extending vertically.

[0113] Reference Figure 8(a) The side resilient sheath 125 may include a back recess 920. More specifically, a back recess 920 may be formed on the back side of the back portion of the side resilient sheath 125. The back recess 920 may be a structure for inserting a back base bracket 1020 into the back side of the side resilient sheath 125. The back base bracket 1020 may be a structure for securing the side resilient sheath 125 to the detector core module 230 to reinforce the waterproofing of the radiation detector 100. The size of the back recess 920 may be the same as the size of the back base bracket 1020.

[0114] At least one vertically extending curved groove may be formed between multiple back recesses 920. The curved groove may be a structure that helps the radiation detector 100 to bend around an axis extending vertically.

[0115] A threaded hole 830 may be formed in the front recess 820. Similarly, a threaded hole may be formed in the back recess 920. A front base bracket 1010 may be inserted into the front recess 820, and a back base bracket 1020 may be inserted into the back recess. Furthermore, at least one of the front base bracket 1010, the side elastic sleeve 125, the front panel 123, the conductive gasket 122, the main board 121, the back elastic sleeve 124, and the back base bracket may be threaded together. More specifically, at least one of the front portion of the front base bracket 1010, the front portion of the side elastic sleeve 125, the front panel 123, the conductive gasket 122, the main board 121, the side protrusion 512 of the back elastic sleeve 124, the back portion of the side elastic sleeve 125, and the back base bracket may be threaded together in the aforementioned order.

[0116] Figure 9 (a) indicates the location used to represent the cross section. Figure 9 (b) indicates Figure 9 The cross-section at the location shown in (a). More specifically, Figure 9 (b) represents a cross-section at the location where the front recess 820 and the back recess 920 are formed. Figure 9 In the description of (b), the following is omitted. Figure 6 The part already explained.

[0117] Reference Figure 9 (b) The side elastic sheath 125 may be formed along the side protrusion 512 of the back elastic sheath 124 to surround the side protrusion 512 formed on the side of the back elastic sheath 124.

[0118] After the side elastic sleeve 125 is attached, in the area of ​​the side protrusion 512 of the back elastic sleeve 124, from front to rear, the front part of the side elastic sleeve 125, the front panel 123, the conductive pad 122, the main board 121, the back elastic sleeve 124, and the back part of the side elastic sleeve 125 may be provided. Furthermore, a front recess 820 may be formed on the front part of the side elastic sleeve 125. And a back recess 920 may be formed on the back part of the side elastic sleeve 125.

[0119] Furthermore, the side elastic sleeve 125 can be made of an elastic material. For example, it can be made of at least one of rubber, silicone, and polyurethane. The thickness of the side elastic sleeve 125 can be 0.5T or more and 3.0T or less. When the thickness of the side elastic sleeve 125 is 0.5T or less, it may tear easily when bent. Furthermore, when the thickness of the side elastic sleeve 125 is 3T or more, not only is bending difficult, but in order to ensure the increased length value when forcibly bent, the shape of other parts may be deformed (wrinkling or stretching, deformation of the airtight maintenance part leading to the entry of foreign objects, etc.). Therefore, it is advantageous to achieve a thickness of 0.5T or more and 3.0T or less for the side elastic sleeve 125, which has been proven by experiments.

[0120] Figure 10 A diagram illustrating a radiation detector according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0121] Figure 10 For example Figures 7 to 9 The figure shown illustrates the process of combining the radiation detector 100 with the side elastic sheath 125, and then combining at least one of the front base bracket 1010, the rear base bracket 1020, and the rear base module 1030.

[0122] The elasticity of at least one of the front base bracket 1010 and the rear base bracket 1020 may be lower than that of the materials of the side elastic sleeves 125 and the rear elastic sleeves 124. For example, the front base bracket 1010 and the rear base bracket 1020 may be made of metal or plastic. However, they are not limited to this, and the materials of the front base bracket 1010 and the rear base bracket 1020 may be made of various raw materials with lower elasticity than the materials of the side elastic sleeves 125 and the rear elastic sleeves 124. In this way, since the elasticity of at least one of the front base bracket 1010 and the rear base bracket 1020 is lower than that of the materials of the side elastic sleeves 125 and the rear elastic sleeves 124, when the front base bracket 1010 and the rear base bracket 1020 are combined with the side elastic sleeves 125 and the rear elastic sleeves 124, the side elastic sleeves 125 and the rear elastic sleeves 124 are compressed in a manner corresponding to the area of ​​the front base bracket 1010 and the rear base bracket 1020.

[0123] The front base bracket 1010 and the rear base bracket 1020 have areas larger than the threads used for engagement, thus providing a larger clamping area compared to using only threads. Therefore, the front base bracket 1010 and the rear base bracket 1020 of the radiation detector 100 of this disclosure can securely fix the side elastic sleeve 125 and the rear elastic sleeve 124 to the radiation detector 100. Furthermore, the front base bracket 1010 and the rear base bracket 1020 do not cause deformation or tearing of the side elastic sleeve 125 and the rear elastic sleeve 124. Therefore, the waterproof performance and durability of the radiation detector 100 are improved.

[0124] and Figure 10 Unlike other front base brackets, the front base bracket 1010 can be integrally formed. That is, the front base bracket 1010 can be in the shape of a closed curve. The front base bracket 1010 can be formed along the side elastic sleeve 125, but is not limited thereto. The front base bracket 1010 can be divided into multiple parts. The front base bracket 1010 may include a left front base bracket 1012, a right front base bracket 1013, and multiple central front base brackets 1011.

[0125] The left front base bracket 1012 is combined with the left side of the side elastic sleeve 125, and when viewed from the front, it can be in a C-shape (or a U-shape). The right front base bracket 1013 can be combined with the right side of the side elastic sleeve 125, and can be in a shape that reverses the left and right sides of the C-shape. Multiple central front base brackets 1011 can be combined with the front of the side elastic sleeve 125. Multiple central front base brackets 1011 can be arranged between the left front base bracket 1012 and the right front base bracket 1013. Multiple central front base brackets 1011 can be arranged side by side along the side elastic sleeve 125. Multiple central front base brackets 1011 can be formed along the edges of the side elastic sleeve 125 and the front panel 123, etc.

[0126] Referring for now to 8(a), the front recess 820 of the central portion included in the side elastic sheath 125 can be shaped to correspond to the central front base bracket 1011. Furthermore, referring to... Figure 8 (b) The right front recess 860 included in the side elastic sheath 125 may have a shape corresponding to the right front base bracket 1013. Furthermore, although not shown, the left front recess included in the side elastic sheath 125 may have a shape corresponding to the left front base bracket 1012.

[0127] The left front base bracket 1012, the right front base bracket 1013, and a plurality of central front base brackets 1011 can be inserted into the front recesses 820 and 860. That is, a central front base bracket 1011 can be inserted into the central front recess 820 included in the side elastic sheath 125. Furthermore, referring to… Figure 8 (b) A right front base bracket 1013 can be inserted into the right front recess 860 included in the side elastic sheath 125. Also, although not shown, a left front base bracket 1012 can be inserted into the left front recess included in the side elastic sheath 125.

[0128] Reference Figure 8 At least one vertically extending curved groove 840 may be formed between the front recesses 820 of the plurality of central portions corresponding to the plurality of central front base supports 1011. At least one vertically extending curved groove may also be formed between the plurality of rear recesses 920. The curved groove 840 may be a structure for assisting the radiation detector 100 in bending around an axis extending vertically.

[0129] The radiation detector 100 may include a back base module 1030. The back base module 1030 may be located on the back of a back elastic sleeve 124. The back base module 1030 may be a structure for protecting the control board 210 inside the control board bracket 220. As described above, the back elastic sleeve 124 may be made of an elastic material. The back elastic sleeve 124 may support the bending of the radiation detector 100 and provide waterproofing, but may not be sufficient to protect the control board 210. Therefore, the back base module 1030 may be made of a rigid raw material to protect the control board 210. For example, the back base module 1030 may be made of plastic or metal. The back base module 1030 may be made of multiple parts to support the bending of the radiation detector 100. A back base bracket 1020 may be provided between the multiple back base modules 1030. The areas of the multiple back base modules 1030 and the areas of the back base bracket 1020 may not overlap in the left-right direction. Therefore, the bending of the radiation detector 100 can be supported based on at least one of the rear base module 1030 and the rear base bracket 1020, which are divided into multiple parts.

[0130] The radiation detector 100 may include a rear base module 1030 and a rear base bracket 1020. However, it is not limited to this, and the radiation detector 100 may include only one of the rear base module 1030 and the rear base bracket 1020.

[0131] The elasticity of the rear base module 1030 can be lower than that of the side elastic sleeves 125 and the rear elastic sleeve 124. For example, the rear base module 1030 can be made of metal or plastic. However, it is not limited to this, and the material of the rear base module 1030 can be made of various raw materials with lower elasticity than the side elastic sleeves 125 and the rear elastic sleeve 124. In this way, because the elasticity of the rear base module 1030 is lower than that of the side elastic sleeves 125 and the rear elastic sleeve 124, when the rear base module 1030 is combined with the side elastic sleeves 125 and the rear elastic sleeve 124, the side elastic sleeves 125 and the rear elastic sleeve 124 are compressed in a manner corresponding to the area of ​​the rear base module 1030.

[0132] The area of ​​the back base module 1030 is larger than the threads used for engagement, thus the back base module 1030 has the effect of clamping a wider area compared to using only the threads. Therefore, the back base module 1030 of the radiation detector 100 can securely fix the side elastic sleeves 125 and the back elastic sleeves 124 to the radiation detector 100. Furthermore, the back base module 1030 does not cause deformation or tearing of the side elastic sleeves 125 and the back elastic sleeves 124. Therefore, the waterproof performance and durability of the radiation detector 100 can be improved. For various embodiments of the side elastic sleeves 125, refer to... Figure 13 .

[0137] Reference Figure 13 (b) and Figure 13 (c) The back cover 1312 of the side resilient sheath 1310 may cover at least a portion of the back of the core module 230. For example, the back cover 1312 of the side resilient sheath 1310 may be formed along the edge of the back of the core module 230. Since the back cover 1312 is formed along the edge of the back of the core module 230, the side resilient sheath 1310, when viewed from the rear, [illegible text]. Figure 13 (c) may appear behind the front cover 1311.

[0138] But not limited to Figure 13 It is also possible to have with Figure 13 Different embodiments. The side resilient sheath 1310 may cover the entire back side of the core module 230. The side resilient sheath 1310 may be integrally formed and may include a back cover (not shown).

Furthermore, the front cover may be formed along the edge of the core module 230 and may cover at least a portion of the front of the core module 230.

[0139] The side resilient sleeve 1310, including at least one of a front cover 1311 and a back cover, prevents foreign objects from entering at least one of the front and back covers of the side resilient sleeve 1310. In this way, by including at least one of the front cover 1311 and the back cover, the side resilient sleeve 1310 securely prevents foreign objects from entering the core module 230 inside the side resilient sleeve 1310. Furthermore, the side resilient sleeve 1310 improves the waterproof function of the radiation detector 100.
