Abstract:
An X-ray detector module (1) which includes a carrier (3) that forms cells (4) arranged in the form of a grid and is made of a material that is essentially non-transparent to X-rays, wherein a mass of scintillator particles (6), having a grain size in the range of between 1 nm and 50 nm, that are embedded in a binder (7) and emit light in the range of a longer wavelength &lgr; in response to the absorption of X-rays is provided in the cells (4), and wherein the difference between the refractive index of the scintillator particles (6) and the refractive index of the binder (7) for the wavelength &lgr; amounts to less than 20% and preferably less than 10%.
