A scintillator module for a CT detector includes an array of pixelated scintillators extending in a first direction at a first spacing, and extending in a second direction at a second spacing, a reflector on the array and between the pixelated scintillators, the reflector having a first thickness and forming notches having a second thickness that is greater than the first thickness. The module includes an anti-scatter grid having plates, each plate extending along a length such that, when the CT detector is positioned in a CT system, the length of the plates extend approximately toward a focal spot. The plates are separated from one another at one of the first spacing and the second spacing, and two of the notches have a gap therebetween that engages one of the plates. An adhesive positioned in the gap to adhere the one plate to the reflector.
