1. In a reflective cavity scintillation detector for a CT scanner for receiving a swath of radiation from an x-ray source to create a plurality of detector readings, the detector having a plurality of cells each including a scintillator and diode means mounted on a reflective collimator plate to form a cell, the improvement comprising, means shielding a part of the detector from the swath of radiation, the diode means being so arranged on the reflective collimator plate as to be within the shielded part of the detector, optical potting means joining the scintillator to the diode means, thereby to enhance the coupling of the scintillator to the shielded diode means.
