ABSTRACT:
A high density semiconductor array for a scalable multislice computed tomography system is described. In one embodiment, the semiconductor array includes a plurality of photodiodes arranged in rows and columns. A scintillator array is optically coupled to the semiconductor array. Each photodiode creates a low level analog output signal representative of the light output of each scintillator. The semiconductor array enables selection of the number of slices of data to be electrically transmitted for each rotation of the CT system.
