ABSTRACT:
A computed tomography apparatus has a radiation detector formed by several parallel detector rows of detector elements. A flexible selection of slices is enabled with a simple construction by constructing the detector from a series of detector modules. Each detector module is formed by several parallel sub-modules, and each sub-module is formed by a series of detector elements. The series of detector elements can be formed by slits in the module. Each detector element is constructed on the basis of a ceramic scintillator with a subsequently connected photodetector.
