Abstract
A detector array is provided for detecting radiation photons. The detector array includes a phosphor screen that converts radiation photons into light energy. The detector array includes a photodiode array having a plurality of photodiodes that convert the light energy into electrical charge. A first photodiode of the plurality of photodiodes is spaced apart from a second photodiode of the plurality of photodiodes to define a non-detection region. The phosphor screen overlies the first photodiode, the second photodiode, and the non-detection region between the first photodiode and the second photodiode.
