Introduction
• Many medical imaging procedures are now digital
• Main requirements are:– size large enough to cover the ROI – resolution diagnostically adequate– patient dose clinically acceptable

Solid state sensor systems
• pixel sensors– high event rate capability– high overhead requirement
• strip sensors– simpler readout structures– event rate limiting ambiguities

SMS technology
• photon counting characteristics (different from conventional, integrating sensors)
• enabling dual energy techniques• possibility of increased resolution
by weighed read-out of adjacent strips
• using existing chips

Results of Monte Carlo simulation
• detection efficiency is sufficient for dental applications when a 300 µm sensor is used;
• pixel counts of <1000 can provide good image quality;
• even at 200 counts per pixel, high contrast details of 300 µm are detectable.

Data procssing and image correction
• gain variation of individual strips corrected for by subtraction of factor obtained from flat field image;
• pixels in dead strips were assigned average of pixels on either side;
• different aspect ratio of pixels corrected by using each pixel 2 times along the 80 µm and 3 times along the 50 µm direction.
