Abstract
Disclosed is a detector system for x-ray imaging. The detector system includes a detector having a plurality of edge-on detector modules. Each of the edge-on detector modules includes a first edge that is adapted to be oriented towards an x-ray source and a front-side running essentially parallel to the direction of incoming x-rays. The front-side includes at least one charge collecting electrode. At least a subset of the plurality of edge-on detector modules being pairwise arranged, front-side to front-side, whereby a front-side to front-side gap is defined between the front-sides of the pairwise arranged edge-on detector modules. The pairwise arranged edge-on detector modules are associated with an anti-scatter collimator arranged in the x-ray path between the x-ray source and the edge-on detector modules and overlapping the front-side to front-side gap.
