Abstract
A scanning-based radiation detector arrangement for two-dimensional imaging of an object comprises a plurality of one-dimensional detector units, each comprising an entrance slit, through which ionizing radiation as transmitted through the object is entered, and being arranged for one-dimensional imaging of the ionizing radiation, wherein the detector units are arranged in an array on a support with their respective entrance slits being parallel with each other and facing the source of the ionizing radiation. The detector arrangement further includes a rotating device for rotating the detector unit array in a plane perpendicular to the direction of the ionizing radiation, while the detector units are arranged to repeatedly detect, hence creating a series of two-dimensional images of the object.
