Abstract

A radiation detector head assembly includes a detector column including a detector having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The detector column includes a first collimator disposed over the first surface of the detector and a second collimator disposed over the second surface of the detector. The detector column includes a first radiation shield disposed over the first collimator, wherein the first radiation shield includes a first recess for receiving the first collimator and a first opening over a third surface of the first collimator, the third surface being opposite the first surface of the detector. The detector column includes a second radiation shield disposed over the second collimator, wherein the second radiation shield includes a second recess for receiving the second collimator and a second opening over a fourth surface of the second collimator, the fourth surface being opposite the second surface.
