Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A quantum-counting radiation detector in which signals of individual pixels and signals of combined pixels are evaluated in parallel processing branches and count results are combined in an appropriate manner, thereby reducing the influence of unwanted interference effects for the respective application.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A quantum-counting radiation detector, comprising: an array of detector elements, each of the detector elements being configured to generate a charge quantity as a function of energy of incident radiation quanta, the array of detector elements being divided into groups of adjacent detector elements to form larger detector units; a first processing stage, allowing a first electrical signal to be supplied for each of the groups, each of the respective first…
