    Abstract: The invention relates to a radiation detector (100′) and a method for detecting radiation, particularly for detecting X-rays (X) in a CT imaging apparatus (1000′). According to a preferred embodiment, the radiation detector (100′) comprises a conversion element (110) for converting incident radiation (X) into electrical signals which are read out and processed by a readout circuit (120). A heating device comprising the heat source (135′) of a Peltier element is provided with which the conversion element (110) can controllably be heated in order to reduce negative effects, e.g. of polarization, on image accuracy, wherein the heat sink (137′) of the Peltier element is oriented towards the readout circuit.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a direct conversion radiation detector for wherein the direct conversion material comprises a garnet with a composition of Z3(AlxGay)O12:Ce, wherein Z is Lu, Gd, Y, Tb or combinations thereof and wherein y is equal to or greater than x; and preferably Z comprises Gd. Suitable garnets directly convert radiation, such as x-rays or gamma-rays, into electronic signals. Preferably photoluminescence of the garnet is low or absent. The detector is particularly suitable for use in x-ray imaging devices, such as computed tomography. In some embodiments photoluminescence of garnets might be used to construct a hybrid direct-indirect conversion detector, which may be particularly suitable for use with Time-of-Flight PET.
