Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A radiation detector assembly is provided that includes a semiconductor detector, a collimator, plural pixelated anodes, and at least one processor. The collimator has openings defining pixels. Each pixelated anode is configured to generate a primary signal responsive to reception of a photon and to generate at least one secondary signal responsive to reception of a photon by at least one surrounding anode. Each pixelated anode includes a first portion and a second portion located in different openings of the collimator. The at least one processor is operably coupled to the pixelated anodes, and configured to acquire a primary signal from one of the pixelated anodes; acquire at least one secondary signal from at least one neighboring pixelated anode; and determine a location for the reception of the photon using the primary signal and the at least one secondary signal.
