A plasma panel based ionizing-photon radiation detector includes an input and output substrate with gamma-ray to free-electron conversion occurring primarily on the input plate and a sealed discharge gas between the substrates. X-electrodes and Y-electrodes are formed on the two substrates and configured to form a plurality of pixels. Impedances are coupled to the X and Y electrodes and a power supply is coupled to the X-electrodes. Discharge event detectors coupled to impedances detect discharge events on the Y electrodes and at the pixel locations, which leads to the detection of ionizing-photon radiation.
