Patent ID: 8552388

Claim:
A method for producing a sensor unit having a support plate, a stack of collimator sheets being attached on an inner side of the support plate, the method comprising: producing a plurality of scintillator strips, each of the plurality of scintillator strips being produced from a plurality of scintillator pixels adjoining one another along one dimension; forming a plurality of sensor strips, each of the plurality of sensor strips being respectively formed by a longitudinal side of one scintillator strip being connected to a respective one photodiode strip made of a plurality of photodiodes, adjoining one another along one dimension such that, for readout purposes, respectively one of the plurality of photodiodes is respectively associated with one of the plurality of scintillator pixels; and individually mounting a plurality of the formed sensor strips on an outer side of the support plate, facing away from the stack of collimator sheets, wherein a narrow side provided for contacting the photodiodes of each of the photodiode strips respectively protrudes beyond the adjacent scintillator strip or strips.
