Abstract

A radiation detection sensor includes a radiation detector that is segmented into an array of mapping elelments, or detectors. The mapping elements may be micro-disposed, such that individual mapping elements are substantially themally isolated from each other comprise pixels of a visual thermal energy map. The mapping elements of the radiation detector may be minimally connected to adjacent radiation detectors, or the mapping elements may be substantially physically isolated from each other.
