Abstract:
1. An imaging system, said system including: an index value source, the index value source capable of generating an index value, the index value source part of an imaging system detector, wherein the index value is latched in an analog-to-digital converter when a programmable ramp based on the index value is compared to a detector signal; a transmitter, the transmitter in communication with the index value source, the transmitter adapted to transmit the index value; a receiver, the receiver in communication with the transmitter, the receiver adapted to receive the index value; and an image processing component, the image processing component in communication with the receiver, the image processing component including a lookup table, the image processing component capable of generating a pixel value based at least in part on the index value and the lookup table, wherein the pixel value has a bit-width greater than the index value.
