An apparatus for detecting a high energy photon includes a scintillator material having an array of scintillator pixels, a photon transducer bonded to the scintillator material, and an integrated circuit coupled to the photon transducer. Each scintillator pixel is configured to receive a high energy photon and to scintillate upon interacting with the received high energy photon to generate a scintillation photon. The photon transducer is configured to generate an electrical signal indicative of detecting the high energy photon upon the photon transducer interacting with the scintillation photon generated by a scintillator pixel in the array of scintillator pixels. The integrated circuit is configured to receive the electrical signal and to provide an output signal having information related to detecting the high energy photon and identifying the scintillator pixel that interacted with the high energy photon to generate the scintillation photon. |
