Claim:
1. An x-ray detecting apparatus for the detection and localisation of ionising x-ray or gamma radiation in radiography, the apparatus comprising: an x-ray detector including: amplification gain adjustment means configured to vary the non-linear amplification gain of the non-linear amplification means according to the emission parameters of an x-ray source providing the incident x-ray photon beam for the radiographic examination to be performed and/or according to the transmitted beam received by the detector from the x-ray source via a subject being imaged, wherein the adjustment means is configured to optimize the non-linearity of the amplification gain of the non-linear amplification means such that the difference between the amplification gain at low x-ray flux and the amplification gain at high x-ray flux is optimized by exploiting a saturation effect.
