Two-dimensional image pickup apparatus
First Claim
1. A two-dimensional image pickup apparatus comprising:
- an apparatus cabinet having an inner mounting surface and a deformable top plate; and
a two-dimensional photoelectric converter unit contained in said apparatus cabinet and carried by a base member which is directly mounted onto said inner mounting surface, said two-dimensional photoelectric converter unit comprising a substrate and a plurality of photoelectric converters formed on said substrate;
wherein said top plate is arranged opposite to said base member such that said two-dimensional photoelectric converter unit is positioned in between said top plate and said base member, and wherein said top plate is less rigid than said base member.

Abstract
An image pickup apparatus for X-ray photography is structurally adapted to absorb external impacts and possible resultant deformations such as deflections of the cabinet so that the interior is protected against damage and remains intact if the cabinet is deformed by the external load. The two-dimensional image pickup apparatus comprises a substrate, two-dimensional photoelectric converters formed on the substrate and an apparatus cabinet containing the substrate and the photoelectric converters. At least part of the apparatus cabinet is deformable and capable of restoring its original profile. A plurality of containers such as air bags may also be inserted into the gap between the substrate and the apparatus cabinet to prevent the inner wall surface of the apparatus cabinet and the substrate from contacting each other.
