Abstract:
The invention relates a photon counting device and method for counting photon interactions in a piece of converter material and addressing the issue of charge sharing. The occurrence of a charge sharing event is already detected upon the onset of the pulse, taking into consideration an onset of a pulse in a neighboring pixel within a preferably very short coincidence window. According to the invention, it is detected whether a pulse is being processed and one or more neighboring pixels are scouted to decide whether a simultaneous interaction has been registered within a very short coincidence window.

Claim (Index 4):
The photon counting device according to  claim 3 ,\n comprising a pulse window delay section for delaying the providing of the pulse logic signal by a predetermined period of time.
