    摘要: A radiation detector having a fiber optic wedge with a plurality of parallel optical fibers is provided for yielding a more cost-effective radiation detector by reading out more scintillator elements or crystals per photodetector surface area. The fiber optic wedge provides a cost efficient method for increasing the number of scintillators that may be read out by a single position-sensitive photodetector of the radiation detector, such as a PET camera.
