Abstract: In an embodiment an X-ray detection device includes a housing, an X-ray detector located in the housing and configured to detect X-rays within an energy detection range of the X-ray detector, a collimator being opaque in at least part of the energy detection range and partially covering the X-ray detector and a first shielding element being opaque in at least part of the energy detection range, wherein the first shielding element is configured to provide at least one of protection of the X-ray detector against stray X-rays within the energy detection range coming from the housing and/or from the collimator or protection of the housing and/or the collimator from at least one of the stray X-rays or other X-rays.

Abstract: A sensor head for an X-ray detector is specified. The sensor head includes a first conductor carrier having a frontal face, and a sensor element sensitive to X-ray radiation. The sensor element is arranged on the frontal face of the first conductor carrier, is electrically conductively connected to conductors of the first conductor carrier and has a detection area. Furthermore, the sensor head includes contact elements electrically conductively connected to the sensor element via the first conductor carrier and bonding wires that electrically conductively connect the first conductor carrier to the contact elements. The sensor element is electrically conductively connected to the contact elements. In a plan view of the detection area, the detection area at least partly covers the bonding wires.
