Abstract
An imaging detector () includes a scintillator array () including a scintillator element () and a material () and a photosensor array () including a detector element () having a light sensitive region () and a non-sensitive region (). The light sensitive region is separated from the scintillator element by a gap, the light sensitive region is in one-to-one mechanical alignment with the scintillator element, and the non-sensitive region is in mechanical alignment with the material. The detector further includes structure () that includes one or more material free channels. The structure is located between the non-sensitive region and the material and not between the light sensitive region and the scintillator element. An optical adhesive () is located in the gap, filling the entire gap, and mechanically and optically coupling the light sensitive region and the scintillator element.
