Abstract:
1. A radiographic imaging system comprising: a radiation source to project radiographic energy toward a subject to be scanned; a detector assembly configured to receive radiographic energy from the radiation source and attenuated by the subject, the detector assembly comprising: a data acquisition system (DAS) coupled to the first and second sets of electrical contacts and configured to receive the electrical signals therefrom; and an image reconstructor connected to the DAS and configured to reconstruct an image of the subject from the electrical signals received by the DAS; wherein the DAS is configured to recognize saturated data from the electrical signals of one of the first and second sets of electrical contacts and input the recognized saturated data to a self-correctability algorithm to correct the saturated data using unsaturated data from the other of the first and second sets of electrical contacts.
