- special type of memory chip that uses a small rechargeable or lithium battery to retain
information about the personal computer hardware while the computer is turned off. It
uses a scintillator that when struck with x-ray photons, it converts the x-rays into light
photons and stores them in capacitors. Each pixel or detector element has its own
amplifier, which is switched on and off by circuitry within the pixel, converting the light
photons into electrical charges.
