The application of gas-detection principles on both dual-energy detection, such as for chest radiography and mammography, and quantitative autoradiography enhances dramatically the image quality of the digital dual- energy detector with great implications in general-purpose digital radiography, computer assisted tomography (CT), microtomography and x-ray microscopy, and offers notable advantages over film autoradiography with a higher sensitivity, much lower exposure times, as well as imaging access at the cellular level. A gas microstrip detector (20) receives incident radiation (44) through a subject (45) to generate an image. The detector (20) includes a substrate (26) having on a first surface a plurality of alternating anodes (22) and cathodes (24), a detector cathode (30) spaced apart from and opposing the substrate, and a zone for dispensing a gaseous medium (34) between the substrate and the detector cathode and for receiving incident radiation imparted through the subject.

L'application des principes de la détection gazeuse à la détection à double énergie, radiographie mammaire et mammographie par exemple, et à l'autoradiographie quantitative, améliore considérablement la qualité des images du détecteur numérique biénergie, ce qui a d'importantes conséquences pour la radiographie numérique générale, la tomodensitométrie (CT), la microtomographie et la microscopie à rayons X, et offre des avantages notables par rapport à l'autoradiographie sur film: plus grande sensibilité, temps d'exposition nettement inférieurs, ainsi que possibilité d'imagerie au niveau cellulaire. Un détecteur gazeux à microrubans (20) reçoit le rayonnement incident (44) traversant un sujet (45), ce qui génère une image. Le détecteur (20) comprend un substrat (26) présentant sur une première surface une pluralité d'anodes (22) et de cathodes (24) en alternance, une cathode détectrice (30) disposée à distance du substrat et opposée à lui, et une zone permettant d'amener un milieu gazeux (34) entre le substrat et l'anode détectrice, et de recevoir le rayonnement incident administré au sujet.
