Abstract
A detector apparatus includes a scattered radiation grid; a scintillator unit for converting X-rays into a light quantity; an evaluation unit for converting the light quantity into electric signals; and a module-receiving appliance. The scintillator unit and the scattered radiation grid are mechanically connected to the module-receiving appliance via a first connection and the evaluation unit is mechanically connected to the module-receiving appliance via a second connection, independent of the first connection. The evaluation unit, the scintillator unit and the scattered radiation grid are aligned with respect to one another such that light quantity, when emitted from sub-regions of the scintillator unit, is registered by sub-regions of the evaluation unit.
