Classification: CPC G  A | IPC A  G

Claim 19:
20. A radiation imaging system, comprising:
a rotating portion, comprising:
a radiation source configured to generate radiation to be incident on an object;
a detector device comprising a plurality of detector elements configured to detect radiation from the object and generate imaging data based on the detected radiation;
a storage device configured to store the imaging data generated by the detector device; and
an aggregator configured to aggregate the imaging data from the storage device;

a non-rotating portion, comprising a process computer to process imaging data transmitted from the rotating portion; and
a slip ring configured to transmit the imaging data between the rotating portion and the non-rotating portion,
wherein the storage device includes a plurality of non-volatile memories arranged at an output of the detector device and an input of the aggregator,
wherein during a scan the rotation portion rotates around the object and each detector element of the plurality of detector elements generates respective imaging data for multiple images,
wherein each non-volatile memory of the plurality of non-volatile memories is configured to simultaneously store the respective imaging data for the multiple images that were generated by a respective one or more detector elements of the plurality of detector elements.
