ABSTRACT:
A CT detector cell is constructed to have diagonally oriented perimeter walls. With such a construction, the resulting CT detector comprised of such detector cells has improved spatial coverage (spatial density). The number of detector channels is also not increased despite the increase in spatial coverage. Moreover, the detector cells can be constructed without much variance from conventional fabrication techniques.
