Abstract
A detector element is for detecting incident x-ray radiation. The detector element includes a scintillation layer for converting the x-ray radiation into scintillation light and a photoactive element for converting the scintillation light into an electric signal. The photoactive element includes a first photoactive absorption layer contacted by an electrode, and a second photoactive absorption layer contacted by a counter electrode. Here, the scintillation layer is arranged between the first photoactive absorption layer and the second photoactive absorption layer.
