1. An X-ray detector comprisinga first X-ray sensor directly converting X-radiation (R) into electric charge carriers;

  • signal evaluation electronics electrically connected to the X-ray sensor and including an integrated circuit;

    an X-ray absorber, configured to protect the signal evaluation electronics; and

    a sensor carrier configured and arranged for positioning the X-ray sensor relative to the X-ray absorber,wherein, viewed in the direction of incidence of the X-radiation, both the signal evaluation electronics are arranged behind the X-ray absorber and in the X-radiation shadow (S) thereof and the X-ray sensor is likewise situated such that the sensor carrier is arranged between the X-ray absorber and the signal evaluation electronics at least sectionally behind the X-ray absorber, but outside the X-radiation shadow (S) thereof.
