ABSTRACT:
A data measurement system (DMS) (30) for a computed tomography (CT) scanner (12) includes a plurality of connectorized detector sub-array modules (32). Each detector sub-array module (32) includes: a scintillator (40) that produces scintillation events responsive to irradiation by x-rays; a photodetector array (42) arranged to detect the scintillations; and two symmetrically arranged signal connectors (541, 542) that transmit the photodetector signals. Symmetrically mounted pipeline cards (60) mate with the signal connectors (54) of each side of groups of the detector sub-array modules (32) to receive the photodetector signals. A processor (64) communicating with the pipeline cards (60) receives the photodetector signals from the pipeline cards (60) and constructs a DMS output from the photodetector signals.
