Abstract

Physical characteristics necessary to calculate the Detective Quantum Efficiency of a prototype imaging detector based on a 4 x 2 array of tiled CMOS sensors designed for small-field-digital-mammography (SFDM; 10 cm x 10 cm active area) are presented. Objective quantities such as modulation transfer function (MTF), noise power spectrum (NPS) and detective quantum efficiency (DQE) have been evaluated. The X-ray photon fluence per X-ray exposure was determined using Half-Value-Layer (HVL) techniques. At an X-ray beam characterized by 28 kVp, Mo-anode, a Mo filter of 0.025 mm and beam hardening by 4.5 cm Lucite, the detector is practically linear with x-ray exposure at least up to 40.7 mR. At an exposure of 40.7 mR and close to zero spatial frequency the DQE is in the vicinity of 60 to 70 %.
