The present invention is directed to an integrated scintillator and
collimator array for a CT detector. The integrated scintillator and
collimator are fabricated from a manufacturing process or technique
whereupon an array of scintillator material is positioned on a tooling
base such that a collimator mold housing having a collimator mold therein
may be positioned on the block of scintillator material. The block and
mold housing are then aligned allowing a collimator mixture to be
disposed into the mold. The collimator mixture is then allowed to cure to
form an integrated scintillator and collimator.
