One or more techniques and/or systems described herein provide for a detector array having an effective size that is larger than its actual size of its elements, thus reducing costs by reducing materials required. In one embodiment, one or more channels of the detector array are removed (e.g., and filled with a radiation absorbing material) to create what may be referred to as a sparse array. In another embodiment, one or more channels of a detector array comprise a detection portion and a dead space (e.g., filled with a radiation absorbing material). In yet another embodiment, one or more channels of a detector array comprise light focusing mechanisms configured to focus light from a scintillator portion of an indirect conversion detector array to a photodetector portion of the detector array, where a detection surface area of the photodetector is less than a detection surface area of the scintillator.
