摘要: A radiation detector with first and second scintillator structures is disclosed. The first scintillator structure comprises a plurality of first scintillator pixels. The first scintillator pixels are separated by gaps, which may be filled with a reflective material to achieve an optical separation of the first scintillator pixels. The second scintillator structure is adapted to increase the absorption of radiation and the output of light. Thereto, the second scintillator structure overlaps at least partially the gaps between first scintillator pixels. The second scintillator structure is optically coupled to the first scintillator structure, so that light emitted by the second scintillator structure is fed into first scintillator pixels. The second scintillator structure may be mounted onto the first scintillator structure using additive manufacturing.

摘要: The invention relates to a method for fabricating a pixelated scintillator wherein a pixelated scintillator-structure (211) and a connection-structure (200) are provided in such a way that the connection-structure is in mechanical contact with two adjacent pixels of the pixelated scintillator-structure. Moreover, the pixelated scintillator-structure comprises a first sintering-shrinking-coefficient and the connection-structure comprises a second sintering-shrinking-coefficient that is greater than the first sintering-shrinking-coefficient. In a further method step, the pixelated scintillator-structure and the connection-structure are sintered such that the gap (212) between the two adjacent pixels (201, 202) of the pixelated scintillator-structure is reduced. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a pixelated scintillator, a detector and an imaging apparatus.

摘要: The present invention relates to medical imaging, and in particular a medical imaging detector. In order to improve and facilitate the collection of information, e.g. for medical diagnosis, a medical imaging detector is provided that comprises a first sensor arrangement (12) and a second sensor arrangement (14). The first sensor arrangement is configured to provide a first type of image data belonging to a first imaging modality. The second sensor arrangement is configured to provide a second type of image data belonging to a second imaging modality. The first imaging modality is an X-ray imaging modality, while the second imaging modality is a non-X-ray imaging modality. The first sensor arrangement comprises one or a plurality of first sensor segments (16) arranged within a first circumferential line (18) defining a first imaging area (20). The second sensor arrangement comprises one or a plurality of second sensor segments (22) arranged within a second circumferential line (24) defining a second imaging area (26).

摘要: In order to improve three-dimensional (3D) printing a high-aspect-ratio three-dimensional metal structures, there is provided a printing method that builds a wall comprising a center part made out of a metal-containing material and left and right parts made out of a plastic material forming first and second supporting wall elements. The plastic support material may be used to enable the build-up of a high-aspect-ratio 3D structure. The proposed printing strategy may be applicable to a cost-effective 3D printing technology, such as fused deposition molding (FDM).

摘要: A multi-layer X-ray detector comprises a first X-ray converter, a first sensor, a second X-ray converter, a second sensor, and an internal anti-scatter device. The first sensor is located at a first sensor layer and is configured to detect radiation emitted from the first X-ray converter. The second sensor is located at a second sensor layer and is configured to detect radiation emitted from the second X-ray converter. The first X-ray converter and the first sensor form a first detector pair, and the second X-ray converter and the second sensor form a second detector pair. The internal anti-scatter device comprises a plurality of X-ray absorbing septa walls and is located between the first detector pair and the second detector pair. No structure of the internal anti-scatter device is located within either layer of the first detector pair, and no structure of the anti-scatter device is located within either layer of the second detector pair. The plurality of septa walls comprises a plurality of first septa walls substantially parallel to each other, and wherein a spacing between the first septa walls in a first direction is equal to an integer multiple n of detector pixel pitch of the first sensor and/or of the second sensor in the first direction, wherein n = 2, 3, 4, ...
