Abstract:
The present invention relates to an image sensor system. The invention further relates to an X-ray imaging system comprising such an image sensor system. More in particular, the present invention is related to image sensor systems that use a relatively small pixel width.
The present invention proposes to group the pixel columns in a plurality of column groups, each column group comprising at least three columns of pixels. The binary counters corresponding to the columns in a column group are reset at the start of a conversion cycle such that at least three columns among the at least three columns in a column group are reset to a different initial value.
