Abstract
A scintillator crystal array includes crystals and a clear film adhesive (CFA) layer. The crystals are configured to receive rays emitted by an object to be imaged and to emit light photons responsive to the rays. The crystals include a first crystal and a second crystal that are spaced apart from one another by a gap. The CFA layer is disposed in the gap between the first and second crystals. The CFA layer is configured to at least partially optically couple the first and second crystals.
