Abstract

A detector array (112) includes a detector pixel (206). The detector pixel includes a three dimensional cavity (304 and 306; 432 and 404) having walls (308/602 and 316; 434 and 406/502) that include active regions, which detect light photons traversing within the three dimensional cavity and produce respective electrical signals indicative thereof. The detector pixel further includes a first scintillator (320; 410) disposed in the three dimensional cavity adjacent to a bottom (320; 416) of the at least one detector pixel. The detector pixel further includes a second scintillator (326; 444) disposed in the three dimensional cavity on top of the first scintillator, wherein the first and second scintillators emits the light photons in response to absorbing x-ray photons. At least one of the walls is vertically oriented with respect to detector pixel, maximizing contact area between a corresponding active region and one of the first or second scintillators.
