Abstract
New semiconductor detectors have recently gained a lot of attention for medical applications in general. Advances in CdZnTe-detector arrays might improve both energy resolution and spatial resolution of clinical X-ray systems. Alternative system designs based on TFA technology combining photo-detector arrays with CMOS electronics open a possibility for compact imaging cameras. This scenario allows for the use of alternative materials such as a-Si:H and HgI2 that can be applied alone or integrated with scintillators. Results obtained with such materials are presented.
