Claim One:
1. A method, comprising: performing a tomosynthesis examination of an object by varying a relative position between an ionizing radiation source and a photon counting detector; generating photon data indicative of radiation photons detected during the tomosynthesis examination, the photon data comprising a detection location and a detection time for at least some of the radiation photons detected during the tomosynthesis examination; combining the photon data into a first plurality of temporal bins to generate first binned data, comprising: combining first photon data indicative of a first set of radiation photons detected during a first temporal range of the tomosynthesis examination into a first bin of the first plurality of temporal bins; and combining second photon data indicative of a second set of radiation photons detected during a second temporal range of the tomosynthesis examination into a second bin of the first plurality of temporal bins; and using the first binned data to generate first tomosynthesis data indicative of the object.
