    摘要: A method and a device for taking digital images in which the exposure time of the object to X or .gamma. rays is controlled and optimized in a way that produces, with each taking of an image, a non-saturated image and minimizes the dose of radiation necessary to produce this image. The device includes at least one image sensor having measurement pixels and pixels. The measurement pixels measure a current representative of a dose of radiation received by the object, and the image pixels are used to form the digital image. The dose of radiation measured by the measurement pixels is compared to a guide-line value, and when this dose measurement reaches the guide-line value the collection of the electrical charge by the image pixels is stopped. The stopping of the collection of the electrical charges is performed without stopping the radiation emission.

    摘要: The particle detection circuit comprises a plurality of basic circuits. Each basic circuit comprises a particle detector element connected to an associated counter and a summing circuit having a first input connected to the output of the counter. Basic circuits, each forming a subpixel, are grouped together by series connection of their summing circuits to form a pixel. The output of the pixel, formed by the output of the summing circuit of a last basic circuit of the pixel, supplies counting signals representative of the number of particles detected by the set of basic circuits of the pixel. Disabling certain basic circuits of the pixel, by selective zero resetting of the first input of their summing circuit, can enable only the particles detected by certain zones of the pixel to be counted.
