Abstract:
The present invention is directed towards a photon counting radiation detector ( 10 ) comprising an array of pixels ( 13 ) comprising a plurality of detection pixels ( 131 ) for detecting imaging information. At least one pixel of the array of pixels ( 132 ) is shielded from receiving radiation. A dark current is determined from the shielded pixel ( 132 ) and is used to compensate for dark current in the other, non-shielded pixels ( 131 ). Embodiments are directed to integrating pixel shielding within an Anti Scatter Grid or in a mask.

Claim (Index 9):
The photon counting radiation detector according to  claim 1 , wherein the compensation area is surrounded by charge sharing prevention means, preferably a guard ring.
