Claim:
1. An imaging detector, comprising: a photosensor substrate including two opposing major surfaces, wherein one of the two opposing major surfaces is perpendicular to a radiation receiving surface of the imaging detector and includes a plurality of photosensor rows of a plurality of photosensor elements, and the photosensor substrate has a thinned thickness on an order of less than one hundred microns; and a scintillator array optically coupled to the photosensor substrate, wherein the scintillator array includes a plurality of complementary scintillator rows of a plurality of complementary scintillator elements, the scintillator array includes two major opposing surfaces, which are perpendicular to the radiation receiving surface, with a recess in one of the two major surfaces, separate from the complementary scintillator elements, which couples to the photosensor substrate.
