Abstract
The invention relates to a radiation detector, having a photodiode arrangement, a number of scintillators (4), and a reflector part (5) having a number of compartments (12) corresponding to the number of scintillators (4), which receive the scintillators (4) in such a way that the scintillators (4) are surrounded by walls (9, 10, 11) of the compartments (12) with the exception of their side respectively facing the photodiode arrangement.
Claims12
A radiation detector, having
- a number of scintillators which emit light when radiation to be detected impinges, which light is detected by photodiodes of a photodiode arrangement, and
- a reflector part having a number of compartments corresponding to the number of scintillators, which receive the scintillators in such a way that the scintillators are surrounded by walls of the compartments with the exception of their side respectively facing the photodiode arrangement.
