Patent Number: 
Section: claims

1. A method for producing a comb-like collimator element for a collimator arrangement, the method comprising: using a collimator sheet, extending in a first direction and made of an X-ray absorbing material, as a support; forming webs made of an X-ray absorbing material onto the support, the webs being formed in layers by way of a rapid prototyping technique and the webs protruding transversely in respect to the support in a second direction. 2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein selective laser melting is used as the rapid prototyping technique. 3. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the webs are formed between an upper side and a lower side of the collimator sheet. 4. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the thickness of the webs relatively increases in the second direction from the upper side to the lower side. 5. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein a number of the webs are formed to include a tilted design. 6. The method as claimed in claim 5, wherein the webs are formed to include a tilted design, in the end regions of the support. 7. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the webs are formed between an upper side and a lower side of the collimator sheet. 8. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein the thickness of the webs relatively increases in a direction radial to the first direction from the upper side to the lower side. 9. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein a number of the webs are formed to include a tilted design. 10. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the webs are formed to include a tilted design, in the end regions of the support. 11. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein a plurality of collimator elements are produced and assembled in the second direction in order to form a collimator arrangement. 12. The method as claimed in claim 11, wherein the plurality of collimator elements are arranged one above the other and interconnected. 13. The method as claimed in claim 12, wherein the plurality of collimator elements are adhesively interconnected. 14. The method as claimed in claim 11, wherein a plurality of collimator elements are produced and assembled in the second direction in order to form a collimator arrangement for an X-ray detector of a computed tomography scanner. 15. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein the plurality of collimator elements are arranged one above the other and interconnected. 16. The method as claimed in claim 15, wherein the plurality of collimator elements are adhesively interconnected. 17. The method as claimed in claim 11, wherein the plurality of collimator elements are adhesively interconnected.
