Abstract

An image detector is for detecting electromagnetic radiation, in particular X-ray radiation. It includes a carrier layer and a photosensor carried by the carrier layer. Each of the carrier layer and photosensor both have a nonvanishing transparency to the electromagnetic radiation. The image detector includes two or more carrier layers and photosensors carried thereby, arranged one above the other, so that the electromagnetic radiation can pass through them one after the other.
