1. A radiation detection system comprising:

  • a photo-sensitive device having multiple photo-sensitive elements arrayed upon a semiconductor substrate with isolation surrounding the periphery of each of said multiple elements, wherein said isolation propagates between a first, top surface and a second, back surface of the semiconductor substrate;

    a plurality of scintillator elements which convert x-ray radiation into light, attached to a surface of the semiconductor substrate and aligned with the multiple elements thereupon; and

    ,at least one electrical amplification element which electrically contacts said multiple elements, wherein said amplification element is affixed to a support substrate in contact with a surface of the semiconductor substrate.
