Abstract
Among other things, a detector unit for a detector array of a radiation imaging modality is provided. In some embodiments, the detector unit comprises a radiation detection sub-assembly and an electronics sub-assembly. The electronics sub-assembly comprises electronic circuitry, embedded within a molding compound, configured to digitize analog signals yielded from the radiation detection sub-assembly and/or to otherwise process such analog signals. The electronics sub-assembly also comprises a substrate, such as a printed circuit board, configured to route signals between the electronic circuitry and a photodetector array of the radiation detection sub-assembly and/or to route signals between the electronic circuitry and digital processing components, such as an image generator, for example.
