Abstract
A radiation detector head assembly includes a detector column. The detector column includes a detector having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The detector column also includes a first collimator disposed over the first surface of the detector configured for use during imaging scans involving radiation in a first energy range. The detector column further includes a second collimator disposed over the second surface of the detector configured for use during imaging scans involving radiation in a second energy range different from the first energy range.
