Semiconductor-based detector: • Continuous crystal with a pixelated anode • Conversion of the x-ray photons into free charge carriers • Drift of the charge cloud towards the pixelated anode by a bias voltage
Scintillator-based detector: • Detector divided up into small blocks (pixelated) • Conversion of the x-ray photon into the visible light • Isotropic emission of the light collected by reflection at the septa and then detected by the photodiode
