2D collimator for a radiation detector and method for manufacturing such a 2D collimator

摘要

A 2D collimator is disclosed for a radiation detector. In at least one embodiment, the 2D collimator includes 2D collimator modules arranged in series, wherein adjacent 2D collimator modules are glued together to establish a fixed mechanical connection to facing module sides, and wherein, on their free-remaining side, the outer 2D collimator modules have a retaining element for mounting the 2D collimator opposite a detector mechanism. A method for manufacturing such a 2D collimator is also disclosed.

1. A radiation detector, comprising:
an array of 2D collimators configured to collimate in at least two collimation directions, each of the 2D collimators of the array including 2D collimator modules arranged in series, adjacent ones of the 2D collimator modules being glued together via a layer of adhesive, to establish a fixed mechanical connection to facing module sides of the 2D collimator modules, relatively outer ones of the 2D collimator modules including at least one retaining element on at least one remaining side, the retaining element including a screw mechanism for mounting each of the 2D collimators of the array opposite a detector mechanism, wherein each of the 2D collimators of the array is replaceable independently of the remaining ones of the 2D collimators of the array.
