Abstract:
Disclosed is an x-ray detector system including a multitude of detector elements, each connected to a respective photon counting channel for providing at least one photon count output, and a read-out unit connected to the photon counting channels for outputting the photon count outputs. Each one of at least a subset of the photon counting channels includes at least two photon counting sub-channels, each photon counting sub-channel providing at least one photon count output and having a shaping filter, wherein the shaping filters of the photon counting sub-channels are configured with different shaping times, and wherein the photon counting sub-channels, having shaping filters with different shaping times, are adapted for counting photons of different energy levels. Furthermore, the read-out unit is configured to select, for each photon counting channel, photon count outputs from the photon counting sub-channels.

Claim (Index 19):
The x-ray imaging system of  claim 15 , wherein the x-ray imaging system is configured to estimate a number of spectrum parameters based on the photon-count outputs from at least one photon-counting sub-channel, and to estimate the number of incident photons from said spectrum parameters and from photon-count outputs from at least one photon-counting sub-channel.
