Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A detector unit for a detector array includes a photo sensor array, a light guide, and a plurality of scintillator elements formed unitarily with the light guide, the scintillator elements configured to emit absorbed energy in the form of light, the light guide being configured to transmit the light received from at least one of the scintillator elements to a photo sensor, the light guide and the plurality of scintillators being formed from the same material, an area covered by the photo sensors being smaller than an area covered by the scintillator elements and a number of photo sensors being less than a number of scintillator elements. A detector array and a method of manufacturing a detector array are also described herein.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A detector unit for a detector array, said detector unit comprising: a photo sensor array; a plurality of light guides; and a plurality of scintillator elements formed unitarily with the light guides, the scintillator elements configured to emit absorbed energy in the form of light, the light guide being configured to transmit the light received from at least one of the scintillator elements to a corresponding photo sensor in the photo sensor array, the…
