Abstract
The invention relates to a combined imaging detector for detection of gamma and x-ray quanta comprising an x-ray detector () for generating x-ray detection signals in response to detected x-ray quanta and a gamma detector () for generating gamma detection signals in response to detected gamma quanta. The x-ray detector () and the gamma detector () are arranged in a stacked configuration along a radiation-receiving direction (). The gamma detector () comprises a gamma collimator plate () comprising a plurality of pinholes (), and a gamma conversion layer () for converting detected gamma quanta into gamma detection signals.
