Abstract: A CT detector includes a scintillator module including at least one scintillator configured to be impinged with radiographic energy from a radiographic energy source, at least one indexing pin connected to the scintillator module, and a collimator assembly having at least one comb, wherein the collimator assembly defines a relative position of the at least one comb, and wherein the at least one comb has a plurality of teeth configured to engage the at least one indexing pin.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to scintillator module for a CT detector as well as an apparatus and method of manufacturing the same. The scintillator module is comprised of a scintillator array having a plurality of scintillators aligned in parallel with respect to one another. A collimator assembly includes a comb having a number of teeth and a plurality of collimator plates positioned proximate to the scintillator array. The scintillator array includes at least one indexing pin extending therefrom. The indexing pin engages the comb and is constructed to improve alignment of the scintillator array relative to the collimator plates.
