    Abstract: A radiation detector (100) adapted for detecting leakage currents is disclosed and comprises a direct conversion material (101) for converting incident radiation, at least one first electrode (108) and a plurality of second electrodes (103) connected to surfaces of the direct conversion material (101) for collecting each generated charges upon application of an electric field, at least one current measurement device (201), and a plurality of signal processing chains (210, 220, 230). Each signal processing chain comprises a readout unit (215, 216, 217, 218, 219) for discriminating between energy values with respect to the incident radiation, and a switching element (214) for sending signals on a first signal path (2141) electrically connecting one of the plurality of second electrodes with the readout unit, or on a second signal path electrically connecting the one of the plurality of second electrodes with an input to one of the at least one current measurement devices. A plurality of switching elements is configured to send signals on the second signal path for measuring a leakage current received at a corresponding plurality of second electrodes of the detector in the absence of incident radiation.

    Abstract: A digital image (40) comprises pixels with intensities relating to different energy levels. A method for processing the digital image (40) comprises the steps of: receiving first image data (42a) and second image data (42b) of the digital image (40), the first image data (42a) encoding a first energy level and the second image data (42b) encoding a second energy level; determining a regression model (44) from the first image data (42a) and the second image data (42b), the regression model (44) establishing a correlation between intensities of pixels of the first image data (42a) with intensities of pixels of the second image data (42b); and calculating residual mode image data (46) from the first image data (42a) and the second image data (42b), such that a pixel of the residual mode image data (46) has an intensity based on the difference of an intensity of the second image data (42b) at the pixel and a correlated intensity of the pixel of the first image data (42a), the correlated intensity determinate by applying the regression model to the intensity of pixel of the first image data (42a).

    Abstract: An imaging system (MIS), optionally a medical imaging system, with wireless communication capability and related method. The imaging system comprises a gantry (RG) rotatable around a rotation axis. The gantry includes a detector device (D) capable of recording, in plural spatial positions, measurement data in relation to a subject (such as a patient) (PAT) to be imaged. The system also includes a radio transmitter (TX) for generating a directed radio beam propagatable along a propagation axis to transmit the measurement data to a radio receiver (RX). The radio transmitter (TX) is arranged at the rotatable gantry and is operable so that the propagation direction intersects the rotation axis in a location that is situated away from the rotatable gantry.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an X-ray pre-exposure control device (10), an X-ray imaging system (1), an X-ray imaging method, and a computer program element for controlling such device and a computer readable medium having stored such computer program element. The X-ray pre-exposure control device (10) comprises a subject detection unit (11), a subject model unit (12), an interface unit (13), a processing unit (14), and a display unit (15). The subject detection unit (11) is configured to detect subject data of the subject (111) to be exposed. The subject model unit (12) is configured to provide a subject model and to refine the subject model based on the subject data into a refined subject model. The interface unit (13) is configured to provide setting data of an X-ray unit (131) to be used for exposing the subject. The processing unit (14) is configured to calculate a virtual X-ray projection (151) based on the refined subject model and the provided setting data. The display unit (15) is configured to display the virtual X-ray projection (151).
