Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A buffer on detector elements of an X-ray radiation detector can be used, when acquiring a number of 2D X-ray image data records with the aid of an X-ray angiography system, to acquire 2D image data records at a relatively short interval one after the other with the aid of different X-ray spectra, to allow dual-energy imaging, which may be of particularly good quality.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for acquiring X-ray images with the aid of an X-ray radiation detector comprising a scintillator that converts X-ray beam quanta striking the X-ray radiation detector to light quanta and also comprising a grid of detector units, each detector unit having a light-sensitive receiver at which a measurement value is changed by light quanta striking the light-sensitive receiver, and each detector unit having a buffer for measurement values read out from t…
