ABSTRACT:
A scintillation detector array for use in computerized tomography comprises a housing having a wall section substantially transparent to x-ray or gamma-ray radiation and which has, disposed within, a plurality of adjacent, triangular prism shaped chambers. The chambers have alternate, oppositely disposed bases and contain a scintillation medium. A photodetector is mounted on the base of each of the chambers. The detector array converts x-ray intensity levels of impinging x-ray radiation to related electrical intensity levels.
