Abstract
A detector module is proposed for producing an X-ray detector for an X-ray computed tomograph. The module includes a number of detector units, each including sensor elements arranged next to one another in the z-direction and in a phi-direction running perpendicular thereto. The detector units are held on a carrier plate in the manner of a column extending in the z-direction. In order to ensure a precise alignment of the sensor elements, the detector units are positioned on the carrier plate via a collimator element.
