ABSTRACT:
A detector for x-ray computer tomography scanners, includes a number of adjacent detector lines extending in an x direction, whereby each detector line is formed from a multitude of adjacent scintillator elements. In order to increase the resolution in the z direction and to simplify the design of the detector, the surface of the scintillator elements are partially covered, which further serves to reduce the size of the aperture in the z direction.
