An integrated, self-aligning x-ray detector assembly for a computed x-ray tomography system includes an alignment grid for aligning an array of scintillator crystals with a corresponding array of photodiodes. The grid includes extensions which engage with a plurality of anti-scatter plates so that the anti-scatter plates and the scintillator crystals are in a predetermined alignment.
