Creators
Description
This patent describes a radiation detector assembly wherein a radiation source is adapted to be scanning by at least one radiation detector element, the detector element having a surface for receiving radiation from the source. The improvement described here is wherein at least a portion of the surface is at an acute angle to the direction of relative scanning between the element and source. The portion is blocked from receiving radiation from the source in predetermined regions, the surface being positioned to receive uncollimated radiation from the source. The radiation detector has at least four of the radiation detector elements adjoining one another with the radiation receiving surfaces thereof defining a pyramidal recess in the detector
