摘要： A method for x-ray photon-counting data correction. The method includes generating, by a training data generation module, training input spectral projection data based, at least in part, on a reference spectral projection data. The training input spectral projection data includes at least one of a pulse pileup distortion, a charge splitting distortion, and/or noise. The method further includes training, by a training module, a data correction artificial neural network (ANN) based, at least in part, on training data. The data correction ANN includes a pulse pileup correction ANN, and a charge splitting correction ANN. The training data includes the training input spectral projection data and the reference spectral projection data.

摘要： According to an embodiment, a signal processing device includes a first integrator, a second integrator, a switcher, and a calculator. The first integrator is configured to integrate a current represented by a reference waveform equivalent to a normal waveform in a case of no pileup phenomenon regarding the current to calculate a first electrical charge. The second integrator is configured to integrate a current output from a photoelectric converter to calculate a second electrical charge. The switcher is configured to, when a pileup phenomenon has occurred, perform switching either to a state in which the first and second electrical charges are output or to a state in which the first electrical charge and a reference charge are output. The calculator is configured to calculate a first difference charge between the first and second electrical charges, and calculate a second difference charge between the first electrical charge and the reference charge.

摘要： A method and system for acquiring spectral information from an energy sensitive nuclear detector is disclosed. The method includes detecting nuclear radiation at a detection device and generating an electronic input pulse indicative of energy deposited in the detection device. The method further includes integrating the electronic input pulse at an integrating device to produce an integrated output signal and digitally sampling the integrated output signal of the integrating device at intervals to produce a stream of digital samples. The method further includes resetting the integrator synchronously with a sampling clock when a limit condition is reached.

摘要： A method is provided for processing a spectrum, obtained using a particle detection system, so as to reduce spectrum artifacts arising from unresolved particle events in the detection system. An input spectrum is obtained which contains artifacts due to “pile up” in the detector. A first effect upon the input spectrum of pairs of unresolved particle events is evaluated and a first corrected input spectrum is generated which comprises the input spectrum with the first effect removed. The effect of a pairs of unresolved particle events is then evaluated for this first corrected input spectrum so as to generate a second corrected input spectrum which comprises the input spectrum with the second effect removed. An output spectrum is then generated based upon a combination of the first and second corrected input spectra. The use of the method in improving sum spectra is also discussed.

摘要： The invention relates to a detector unit (100) for the detection of photons of incident radiation. The detector unit (100) comprises a signal processing circuit (40, 50, 60) for generating signals (V0) that are dependent on the energy of a currently detected photon (X) and at least one processing-parameter (Rf). Moreover, it comprises a flux estimator (70) for estimating the flux of photons and for adjusting the processing-parameter (Rf) based on said estimated flux. The flux estimator (70) receives its input (Vi), from which the flux of photons is estimated, from a processing stage that is independent of the output of the signal processing circuit. In a preferred embodiment, the signal processing circuit is or comprises a shaper (40).
