Abstract
A detector module for an X-ray detector includes at least one sensor unit for detecting X-rays, and at least one anti-scatter grid in a stacking arrangement with the at least one sensor unit. The at least one sensor unit is fixed in place on the at least one anti-scatter grid. The at least one anti-scatter grid includes a fastener for securely mounting the detector module on a carrier unit of the X-ray detector.
Claims19
A detector module for an X-ray detector, the detector module comprising:
- at least one sensor unit operable to detect X-rays;
- and
- at least one anti-scatter grid in a stacking arrangement with the at least one sensor unit,
- wherein the at least one sensor unit is fixed in place on the at least one anti-scatter grid, and
- wherein the at least one anti-scatter grid comprises a fastener operable to securely mount the at least one anti-scatter grid of the detector module onto a carrier unit of the X-ray detector such that the at least one anti-scatter grid is positioned between the at least one sensor unit and the carrier unit.
A detector module comprising:
- at least one sensor unit operable to detect X-rays;
- and
- an anti-scatter grid in a stacking arrangement with the at least one sensor unit, wherein the at least one sensor unit is fixed in place on the anti-scatter grid,
- wherein the anti-scatter grid comprises a fastener operable to securely mount the detector module on a carrier unit of an X-ray detector such that the anti-scatter grid is positioned between the at least one sensor unit and the carrier unit.
An X-ray detector comprising:
- a carrier unit;
- and
- at least one detector module, wherein a detector module of the at least one detector module comprises:
- at least one sensor unit operable to detect X-rays;
- and
- at least one anti-scatter grid in a stacking arrangement with the at least one sensor unit, wherein the at least one sensor unit is fixed in place on the at least one anti-scatter grid, and wherein the at least one anti-scatter grid comprises a fastener operable to securely mount the at least one anti-scatter grid of the detector module onto the carrier unit of the X-ray detector such that the at least one anti-scatter grid is positioned between the at least one sensor unit and the carrier unit.
A computed tomography device comprising:
- an X-ray detector comprising:
- a carrier unit;
- and
- at least one detector module, wherein a detector module of the at least one detector module comprises:
- at least one sensor unit operable to detect X-rays;
- and
- at least one anti-scatter grid in a stacking arrangement with the at least one sensor unit, wherein the at least one sensor unit is fixed in place on the at least one anti-scatter grid, and wherein the at least one anti-scatter grid comprises a fastener operable to securely mount the at least one anti-scatter grid of the detector module onto the carrier unit of the X-ray detector such that the at least one anti-scatter grid is positioned between the at least one sensor unit and the carrier unit;
- and
- an X-ray source disposed opposite the X-ray detector.
