Abstract
An x-ray detector, especially for a computed tomograph, includes a number of detector modules arranged next to one another in a stacking direction with a front side, which during operation is oriented towards an x-ray source, and with a rear side lying opposite the front side. For screening against x-rays which pass during operation through an installation between two adjacent detector modules, an absorption element is positioned on the rear side of the two adjacent detector modules.
