ABSTRACT:
An X-ray computed tomography apparatus has a radiation detector composed of X-ray converters so that the scattering of light in a scintillator or the inductive disturbance in a directly converting semiconductor is minimized or eliminated. Each X-ray converter, e.g. a scintillator is in fixed contact with a number of signal converters, e.g. photodiodes. From the output signals of the signal converters, the unsharpness can be calculated and then compensated.
