Abstract

A 2D collimator is disclosed for a radiation detector. In at least one embodiment, the 2D collimator includes 2D collimator modules arranged in series, wherein adjacent 2D collimator modules are glued together to establish a fixed mechanical connection to facing module sides, and wherein, on their free-remaining side, the outer 2D collimator modules have a retaining element for mounting the 2D collimator opposite a detector mechanism. A method for manufacturing such a 2D collimator is also disclosed.
