Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for detecting x-rays (R) using an x-ray detector (100) which has a direct-conversion semiconductor detector element (150a, 150b). Additional radiation (K) is supplied to the semiconductor detector element (150a, 150b) using a radiation source (210a, 210b), and the supply of the additional radiation (K) is controlled and/or regulated on the basis of a specified target value (T a , T b , T c ). In particular, the target value can be specified in a variable manner over time as a sequence of target values. The invention further relates to an x-ray detector system (200) with which the method can be carried out.
