    摘要: A detector module for an imaging system, such as a CT system, and a method for fabricating the same are presented. The detector module includes an array of direct conversion sensors, the direct conversion sensors having a first side and a second side. The first side of the direct conversion sensors includes a segmented electrode side forming an array of pixels that receive radiation and convert the received radiation into corresponding charge signals, whereas the second side includes a common electrode side. The detector module also includes a readout electronic circuitry coupled to one or more of the direct conversion sensors where the readout electronic circuitry is configured to be shielded from the radiation. In addition, the detector module includes a bias voltage circuitry coupled to the one or more direct conversion sensors on the second side.

    摘要: A radiation detector is provided employing a focus grid electrode. The focus grid electrode is biased relative to one or more anode electrodes. In this manner, movement of electrons to the anode electrodes may be enhanced, such as due to a higher electrical field strength in a conversion material and/or due to focusing of the resulting electrical field on the anode electrodes.
