A structured scintillator and a detection system employing structured scintillators. More specifically, a structured scintillator comprising a scintillator material having a plurality of isolated structures is disclosed. The structures may be conical in shape. The structures may be formed on a substantially transparent material layer which has been patterned to form a plurality of isolated regions. The structures may be formed on top of the isolated regions to provide isolated scintillator structures having space therebetween. The isolated regions and scintillator structures may be aligned with underlying detection devices.
