A detector module for a radiation detector is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the detector module includes a converter layer with contacts, arranged distributed over an area on the rear side, for transmitting electrical signals, wherein the contacts are routed, by way of rewiring, to target contacts on a target region that is smaller than this area. This provides the conditions for simple and secure signal routing between the contacts on the converter layer and readout electronics. In particular, this is successful if a substrate layer used for stabilization purposes has a cutout for the target region, through which cutout the target contacts are directly connected to the signal-routing lines of readout electronics.

Detector module for a radiation detector and radiation detector

A detector module is disclosed including a plurality of directly converting detector submodules, each with a back contact, and a scattered radiation collimator spanning the detector submodules. For contacting the back contacts, a contacting unit is provided in at least one embodiment and designed so that a contact connection is established between the contacting unit and the counter-electrodes by way of assembly-related proximity of the scattered radiation collimator and the counter-electrodes.

Detector module, radiation detector and radiation recording device

A method is disclosed for acquiring measured data by way of a computed tomography system, wherein the measured data is acquired by a detector unit disposed opposite the radiation source during a rotation of a radiation source around an examination object. In at least one embodiment, the rotation is subdivided into succeeding time segments during each of which measured data is acquired, and each of the succeeding time segments has either a first length or a second length consisting of two predefined lengths.

Jitter-free spatial triggering of a detector of a CT system

A detector module is disclosed, having an array of detector elements and a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board includes a first region for holding the array of detector elements and includes at least one second region, angled off relative to the first region. On this at least one second region, signal-processing electronics may be arranged. The vertical design of the detector module allows the design of an area detector to be produced on the basis of a multiplicity of detector modules arranged next to one another. The area detector may be provided for a computer tomograph.
