Abstract
A detector array () for a radiation system includes first and second detector cells (). The first detector cell () includes a first scintillator () that converts a radiation photon () impinging the first scintillator () into first light energy (), and a first solar cell () that converts the first light energy () into first electrical energy. The second detector cell () includes a second scintillator () that converts a radiation photon () impinging the second scintillator () into second light energy (). The first scintillator () includes a first detection surface () through which the radiation photon () impinging the first scintillator () enters the first scintillator (). The second scintillator () includes a second detection surface () through which the radiation photon () impinging the second scintillator () enters the second scintillator (). The second detection surface () is substantially parallel to the first detection surface () and the second detection surface () is not coplanar with the first detection surface ().
