The present invention relates to a solid-state X-ray detector comprising a
photosensitive sensor associated with a radiation converter, known as a
scintillator, transforming the X-rays into a radiation to which the
sensor is sensitive, and an entry window through which the X-rays pass
upstream of the scintillator. The entry window is mounted on the
scintillator, without being fixed to the scintillator, and the entry
window and the sensor are fixed by a water vapor-tight seal. The
scintillator consists of a support, distinct from the sensor, and a
scintillating substance.The application areas of this type of detector
are notably radiology (radiography, fluoroscopy and mammography), but
equally, non-destructive testing.
