What occurs after Am-Si converts light into electrons?

When Am-Si (Amorphous Silicon) converts light into electrons in the context of a digital imaging system, what happens next is crucial for image formation. The electrons generated from the conversion process need to be managed effectively for the image to be properly displayed or stored.

Once the light is converted into electrons, these electrons are indeed captured in a "bin," which refers to an electronic storage mechanism where the charges accumulate in an array. The term "transistor" comes into play because transistors are utilized to control and read the accumulated charges from each pixel in a digital imaging array. This process is fundamental in converting the information from photons to a digital image format, allowing for further processing, enhancement, and ultimately display on imaging monitors.

Capturing electrons in a bin allows for individual pixel information to be processed accurately, which is vital for producing high-quality fluoroscopic images. This step ensures that the image is properly formed and can be manipulated as necessary to achieve the desired diagnostic results.
