Abstract:
A focally aligned scintillator is constructed such that its scintillator walls are sloped so as to be angularly aligned with an x-ray source. The scintillator has a planar x-ray reception surface and a planar light emission surface, and a plurality of sidewalls connecting the planar x-ray reception surface and the planar light emission surface. The sidewalls extend non-perpendicularly between the planar x-ray reception surface and the planar light emission surface.
