Abstract

A method can include providing a scintillator structure. Providing the scintillator structure can include providing a scintillator support layer, providing a scintillator layer, and coupling the scintillator layer to the scintillator support layer. Meanwhile, the scintillator support layer has a substantially non-planar surface, the scintillator layer having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface and being configured to scintillate, and the first surface of the scintillator layer is coupled to the substantially non-planar surface of the scintillator support layer such that the second surface of the scintillator layer has a contour of the substantially non-planar surface of the scintillator support layer.
