Abstract
A particle detector made of semi-insulating GaAs is used for preliminary st udy of X-ray imaging. A standard technology developed in our laboratory is applied to prepare this detector. The detector works at room temperature in the photon counting mode. Results show that the quality of images taken at chosen exposure range is limited only by the photonic noise from used X-ra y source Am-241. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
