Abstract: A multi-functional and multi-modality radiation detector (10) is provided. The radiation detector (10) comprises at least two detector units (12a, 12b) having photosensitive pixels (14) and at least one scintillation device (20) optically coupled to the photosensitive pixels (14). The detector units (12a, 12b) are arranged next to each other on a substrate foil (24). Therein, the scintillation devices (20) of the detector units (12a, 12b) are spaced apart from each other, such that the radiation detector (10) is bendable. This allows the radiation detector (10) to be used in many different geometrical configurations.

Abstract: The invention relates to the detection of x-ray and gamma quanta. In the medical imaging arrangement (100) an x-ray source (111) is attached to a first portion of an x-ray c-arm (113) and an x-ray detector (112) is attached to a second portion of the x-ray c-arm (113) for measuring x-ray transmission along a path (115) between the x-ray source and the x-ray detector. A gamma camera (114) is movable along a trajectory (116) that intersects the path between the x-ray source and the x-ray detector. Since the gamma camera can be moved along a trajectory that intersects the path between the x-ray source and the x-ray detector, the gamma camera can be used to generate a nuclear image that closely corresponds to the same region of interest as that which is imaged by the x-ray source and detector.
