Abstract: The present invention is a directed to a non-pixelated scintillator array for a CT detector as well as an apparatus and method of manufacturing same. The scintillator array is comprised of a number of ceramic fibers or single crystal fibers that are aligned in parallel with respect to one another. As a result, the pack has very high dose efficiency. Furthermore, each fiber is designed to direct light out to a photodiode with very low scattering loss. The fiber size (cross-sectional diameter) may be controlled such that smaller fibers may be fabricated for higher resolution applications. Moreover, because the fiber size can be controlled to be consistent throughout the scintillator array and the fibers are aligned in parallel with one another, the scintillator array, as a whole, also is uniform. Therefore, precise alignment with the photodiode array or the collimator assembly is not necessary.

Abstract: A radiation detector (24) for an imaging system includes a two-dimensional array (50) of nondeliquescent ceramic scintillating fibers or sheets (52). The scintillating fibers (52) are manufactured from a GOS ceramic material. Each scintillating fiber (52) has a width (d2) between 0.1 mm and 1 mm, a length (h2) between 0.1 mm and 2 mm and a height (h8) between 1 mm and 2 mm. Such scintillating fiber (52) has a height (h8) to cross-sectional dimension (d2, h2) ratio of approximately 10 to 1. The scintillating fibers (52) are held together by layers (86, 96) of a low index coating material. A two-dimensional array (32) of photodiodes (34) is positioned adjacent and in optical communication with the scintillating fibers (52) to convert the visible light into electrical signals. A grid (28) is disposed by the scintillating array (50). The grid (28) has the apertures (30) which correspond to a cross-section of the photodiodes (34) and determine a spatial resolution of the imaging system.
