Abstract
An anti-scatter collimator is for arrangement in a stacked construction with an X-ray detector. In an embodiment, the anti-scatter collimator includes collimator walls arranged adjacently at least along a first direction. The collimator walls are mutually spaced to provide a through-channel between each pair of adjacent collimator walls. The through-channels provided by the arrangement of the multiplicity of collimator walls are at least partially filled with a filler material.
