Claim Text:
1. An X-ray line detector comprising: a housing; a predefined number of carrier modules disposed in the housing, the carrier modules having substantially a same width; a one-piece printed circuit board, on which a photodiode is arranged, attached to each carrier module, respectively, the printed circuit board being wider than an active area of pixels constituting the photodiode; a scintillator element attached to each photodiode, respectively, each scintillator element having a length that exactly covers the active area of the respective photodiode in the width thereof and covers an interspace between two adjacent pixels of the respective photodiode, the width of each carrier module being at most twice as great as the length of a scintillator element, wherein the carrier modules are arranged in a first row and a second row in the housing such that the photodiodes of the first row are opposite the photodiodes of the second row, and such that the scintillator elements of the first row directly abut the scintillator elements of the second row, the scintillator elements being arranged in an alternating manner on the first and second rows.
