Abstract

A computed tomography (CT) detector apparatus includes a plurality of detectors arranged in a ring, each detector being arranged inside a Faraday cage having a plurality of voltage-biased side-electrodes arranged on a side surface of the Faraday cage. The detectors include photon-counting detectors (PCDs). A voltage applied to the voltage-biased side-electrodes decreases from the anode side of the PCD to the cathode side of the PCD.
