Abstract:
A detector array ( 112 ) of an imaging system ( 100 ) includes a radiation sensitive detector ( 202/204/206 ) configured to detect radiation and generates a signal indicative thereof and electronics ( 208 ) in electrical communication with the radiation sensitive detector. The electronics include a current-to-frequency converter ( 300 ) configured to convert the signal into a pulse train having a frequency indicative of a charge collected during an integration period. The electronics further include a residual charge collection circuit ( 322 ) electrically coupled to current-to-frequency converter. The residual charge collection circuit is configured to store charge collected by the integrator for an end portion of the integration period that does not results in a pulse of the pulse train, utilizing much of the electronics already in the current-to-frequency converter electronics.

Claim (Index 10):
The detector array of  claim 6 , further comprising:\n a single bank of capacitors wherein a first subset of the capacitors includes the integrating capacitor, a second different subset of the capacitors includes the reset capacitor, and a third different subset of the capacitors includes the residual charge capacitor.
