Abstract:
Among other things, a detector unit for a radiation detector array is provided. The detector unit includes a radiation detection sub-assembly including a scintillator and a photodetector array. A first routing layer is coupled to the photodetector array of the radiation detection sub-assembly at a first surface of the routing layer. An electronics assembly includes an analog-to-digital converter that converts an analog signal to a digital signal. A second routing layer is disposed between the A/D converter and the first routing layer. A shielding element is disposed between the A/D converter and the second routing layer. The shielding element shields the A/D converter from the radiation photons. The second routing layer couples the electronics sub-assembly to the first routing layer. A first coupling element couples the A/D converter to the second routing layer.

Claim (Index 1):
A detector unit for a radiation detector array, comprising:\n a radiation detection sub-assembly comprising:\n a scintillator configured to generate luminescent photons based upon radiation photons impinging thereon; and \n a photodetector array comprising one or more photodetectors configured to detect at least some of the luminescent photons and to generate an analog signal based upon the at least some of the luminescent photons; \n a first routing layer coupled to the photodetector array of the radiation detection sub-assembly at a first surface of the first routing layer; and an electronics sub-assembly coupled to a second surface of the first routing layer, the electronics sub-assembly comprising:\n an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter configured to convert the analog signal to a digital signal; \n a second routing layer disposed between the A/D converter and the first routing layer, the second routing layer configured to couple the electronics sub-assembly to the first routing layer; and \n a first coupling element configured to couple the A/D converter to the second routing layer.
