ABSTRACT:
An x-ray detector includes a scintillation element having a radiation entry side and a radiation exit side disposed in succession in a direction of radiation propagation, with respective photosemiconductor layers in optical contact with the scintillation element being disposed on both the radiation entry side and the radiation exit side of the scintillation element. The layers on each side are separated to form a succession of discrete photodiodes, and the photodiodes on one side of the scintillation element may be offset relative to the photodiodes on the other side of the scintillation element.
