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.
Claims17
A radiation detector comprising:
- a detection layer including a plurality of detection elements;
- at least one readout unit;
- an intermediate layer, arranged between the detection layer and the at least one readout unit, the intermediate layer including a plurality of electrically-conductive connections each respectively arranged between respective ones of the plurality of detection elements and the at least one readout unit;
- and
- a heating apparatus, including at least one heating element, arranged between the detection layer and the at least one readout unit, wherein the at least one heating element is embodied as a serpentine electrical conductor that extends along two planar side surfaces of the intermediate layer.
