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 9):
The detector array of  claim 7 , wherein the logic is further configured to close a data collection switch to electrically connect the radiation sensitive detector and the electronics for the integration period and open the data collection switch to electrically disconnect the radiation sensitive detector and the electronics at the end of the integration period.
