Abstract
A radiation detector includes an intermediate layer, which is arranged between a detection layer with a number of detection elements and a number of readout units. In an example embodiment of this arrangement, the intermediate layer has a plurality of electrically-conductive connections between the detection elements and the readout units. An example embodiment further specifies a medical imaging system, as well as a method of using the heating apparatus.
Claims15
A radiation detector comprising:
- a detection layer including a plurality of detection elements, each detection element including a plurality of pixels;
- a plurality of readout units each pixel of the plurality of pixels being connected to one of the plurality of readout units and multiple pixels of the plurality of pixels are connected to one of the plurality of readout units;
- an intermediate layer, having two planar side surfaces, arranged between the detection layer and the plurality of readout units, the intermediate layer including a plurality of electrically-conductive connections each respectively arranged between respective ones of the plurality of detection elements and respective ones of the plurality of readout units, wherein the intermediate layer includes rewiring structures on one of the two the planar side surfaces and which faces towards the plurality of readout units, the rewiring structures including conductor tracks, which rewiring structures are each connected by a via to at least one pixel of at least one of the detection elements;
- and
- a support structure, laterally adjacent the plurality of readout units, including a number of elements for forwarding data from the plurality of readout units, wherein the support structure is a conductive support directly connected to the intermediate layer and a carrier layer.
