Discussion of CsI vs. GOS

Csi focuses scintillator light to TFT

High Image quality

GOs scatters produced light to TFT causing reduced image quality

Image Generation - Today

Using 100 yr old technology……Vacuum Tubes

• Heats a negatively charged metal filament to1000º C• Combination of heat and charge releases electrons• Strikes a positively charged electrode• X-rays created by the energy of the impact

Image Generation - Future

Electron Field Emission

• A myriad of carbon nano-tubes on a platform

• Compact source of x-rays that can be controlled with great precision, built into an array

• Each element programmed to fire when required
