Abstract
An X-ray detector assembly for an imaging system is provided. The X-ray detector assembly includes a block for mounting to a rotating disc, the block including two opposing end surfaces, two opposing side surfaces and at least one mounting surface, and at least two detector chips, each detector chip including an X-ray detecting surface and an opposing block-facing surface, two opposing end surfaces and two opposing side surfaces, and each detector chip having a flexible bus mounted to the opposing block-facing surface of the detector chip adjacent to a side surface of the detector chip. The at least one mounting surface of the block receives the at least two detector chips in side-by-side disposition, with the buses of the at least two detector chips extending along a side surface of the block.
