X-ray scintillation detector array for use in computer tomography, etc. has improved detection efficiency through use of separation layers between detector elements that do not extend through the whole scintillator layer

摘要

Matrix type detector array (21) for detection of X- radiation, where each element (7) is comprised of scintillator material and a photoelectric detector (11). Between neighboring elements is a separation layer of non-scintillating material. The material does not extend through the full width of the scintillator material. The invention also relates to a corresponding method for operating a detector array and a manufacturing method.
