(GB2322233-B)      The device has a detector substrate (3), e.g. CdZnTe, exposable to incident radiation with a number of charge collection contacts (27,28). The detector substrate is arranged in front of a readout substrate (4) in the form of an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit has a region (20) containing pixel cell readout circuits (19) with metal inputs (21), an edge region (22) which contains circuitry such as control, decoding and multiplexing circuitry, and another edge region (24) to which wire connections are made.    Each contact is coupled to an input of a respective circuit of the array of readout cell circuits. The contacts include a regular arrangement of contacts (27) over the majority of the substrates area, positioned to be directly in register with the inputs of the respective readout circuits and the other contacts (28) are coupled via a conductive path (30) to an intermediate terminal position (34) which is in register with an input of a respective readout circuit (19a).    USE -   Medical diagnosis, biotechnology or industrial non-destructive testing and quality control for imaging ionising radiation, e.g. gamma or beta rays.    ADVANTAGE -   Eliminates inactive areas between active imaging areas of adjacent detector devices, increasing resolution and preventing blind regions.
