Abstract
In one embodiment, a radiation detector may include a housing, a scintillator, a photosensor array, and a first converter. The housing may include a first image cover associated with a first surface configured to receive incident radiation generated at a first voltage range, and a second image cover associated with a second surface configured to receive incident radiation generated at a second voltage range. The first voltage range may be different than the second voltage range. The scintillator may be disposed within the housing to convert the incident radiation at the first voltage range or the incident radiation at the second voltage range into converted optical photons. The photosensor array may be optically interfaced with the scintillator to receive the optical photons from the scintillator. The first converter may be configured to interact with the incident radiation generated at the first voltage range.
