Abstract
A modular radiation detector array which allows improved spatial resolution and facilitates installation and replacement for repair. Each module includes two detachably assembled portions with one portion including a plurality of spaced plates for collimating radiation. The second portion includes a printed circuit board, a semiconductor diode array chip mounted on the printed circuit board, and a plurality of scintillator crystals mounted on the semiconductor chip with each crystal overlying a diode. Signals from the diodes are applied to signal processing means by a cable which is readily connected to and disconnected from the diode array.
