Abstract
An X-ray detector for a computed tomography (CT) imaging system is provided. The X-ray detector includes a plurality of detector modules. Each detector module of the plurality of detector modules includes a scintillator layer configured to convert X-ray photons into lower energy light photons. Each detector module of the plurality of detector modules also includes a light imager layer configured to convert the light photons into electrons, wherein the light imager layer includes a light imager panel comprising an array of photodiodes. Each detector module of the plurality of detector modules further includes a readout device that converts the electrons into digitized pixel values, wherein each photodiode of the array of photodiodes is coupled to a respective dedicated readout channel of the readout device via a respective dedicated data line, and the readout device is configured to continuously directly readout the electrons from the array of photodiodes.
