A radiation detector with first and second scintillator structures is disclosed. The first scintillator structure comprises a plurality of first scintillator pixels. The first scintillator pixels are separated by gaps, which may be filled with a reflective material to achieve an optical separation of the first scintillator pixels. The second scintillator structure is adapted to increase the absorption of radiation and the output of light. Thereto, the second scintillator structure overlaps at least partially the gaps between first scintillator pixels. The second scintillator structure is optically coupled to the first scintillator structure, so that light emitted by the second scintillator structure is fed into first scintillator pixels. The second scintillator structure may be mounted onto the first scintillator structure using additive manufacturing.

The invention relates to a method for estimating a dose administered by a radiology system provided with an X-ray source and a flat surface sensor, wherein (a) an X-ray image of the patient is acquired by the flat surface sensor; (b) the grey level of the pixel is determined at the centre of the X-ray image; (c) the kerma K is calculated, on the patient's entrance from the grey level, from the electrical charge passing through the X-ray tube during the patient's exposure time, the thickness of the patient's body along the axis of the X-ray beam and the distance between the X-ray source and the patient. This method of estimating dose can significantly reduce the margin of error on the dose administered.
