    摘要: A system is provided that includes a controller that is configured to enable communication between one or more sensors and a processor. The controller includes a plurality of input-output (IO) ports each configured to couple to the one or more sensors. Moreover, each of the IO ports is configured to couple to a plurality of sensor types such that each IO port is configured to couple more than one sensor type. The controller also includes an interface configured to receive a selection of a selected mode from a plurality of modes each corresponding to a sensor type. Furthermore, the controller includes a switch block having a plurality of switches each configured to toggle a connection in the switch block according to the selected mode.

    摘要: The present approach relates to the use of energy-resolved, photon-counting detectors, such as CZT- or CdTe-based detectors, to acquire spectral information that is not available with conventional energy-integrating detectors. In certain embodiments, the present approach discussed reduces or eliminates spectral contamination incurred by transient signals in neighboring pixels in designs employing coincidence logic and shaping amplifiers with short shaping times.
