Magnitude effective actual size larger detector array {DETECTORARRAYHAVINGEFFECTIVESIZELARGERTHANACTUALSIZE}

摘要

For effective size larger than the actual size, the present invention relates to a detector array and to save costs by reducing the required material. Is eliminated by a method such as filling with a radiation-absorbing material part of the channel of the detector array such, making the called sparse array. On the other hand, the channel of the detector array and the dead space detection section; I may also have an (experimental part, which is filled with radiation-absorbing material). Or, may also include a collector for such channels is focused on the photodetector light of the scintillator indirect conversion detector array, at this time, the detection area of ​​the photodetector is smaller than the area of ​​detection scintillator.
