[A study of the necessity of cooling of charge-coupled devices in x-ray imaging systems].
The goal of this work was to study one of the widely used X-ray imaging systems: luminescent screen-optical system-matrix of photosensitive charge-coupled device (CCD)-amplifier-analog-to-digital converter. Experimental and theoretical studies were performed to substantiate the necessity of cooling of charge-coupled devices for improvement of X-ray image characteristics. The obtained results reveal the necessity of cooling of CCD-matrix crystals in the X-ray imaging system under consideration.
