ABSTRACT:
A multislice detector array producing an alterable quantity of slices and slice resolutions. In one embodiment, the detector array includes a detector housing, a plurality of detector modules, and a collimator. Each detector module includes a plurality of photodiodes arranged in an array of rows and columns, a switch apparatus electrically coupled to the photodiode output signals, and a decoder. The collimator is configured to separate X-ray beams so that only the focal X-ray beams are impinged upon the detector modules.
