    Abstract: In one aspect of the invention a system and method is claimed for providing model parameters for three dimensional fabrication of anatomical structures by obtaining and reconstructing three dimensional image data with a medical imager wherein imaging acquisition parameters of the imaging system and/or reconstruction input parameters of the reconstructor are optimized for maximum geometry precision. Advantageously, the imaging system is further configured to obtain material and/or functional information of the anatomical structure model and that material information is used to incorporate the material information in the anatomical model.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a radiation detector, in particular a direct conversion radiation detector. To provide for simple distribution of provided high voltage the radiation detector comprises a plurality of detector modules (10, 20) arranged adjacent to each other. Each detector module comprises a sensor layer (14, 24) for converting incident radiation (100) into electrical charges, a first electrode (15, 25) deposited on a first surface of the sensor layer facing the incident radiation (100), a second electrode (16, 26) deposited on a second surface of the sensor layer opposite the first surface, a readout electronics (12, 22) in electrical contact with the second electrode, and a carrier (13, 23) for carrying the sensor layer and the readout electronics. The radiation detector further comprises an electrically conductive conduction layer (30, 32, 50) and an anti-scatter arrangement (40), which are arranged on top of each other and cover the plurality of detector modules on the side facing the incident radiation (100).
