The invention relates to an apparatus (10) for counting X-rayphotons (12, 14), in particular photons in a computer tomograph. The events from a first photon-sensitive element (20) are recorded in a first integrator (24), and the events coming from a second photon-sensitive element (22) are counted in a second integrator (26). A first summing unit (28) is provided for summing the values from the first and second integrators (24, 26) and a result signal to obtain a sum, wherein the result signal is obtained from a feedback device (30) being provided with the sum. It is there possible to reduce a total information density generated by the impinging photons (12, 14), so that a data stream with a reduced information density (or reduced data rate) is present at an output (34). The invention also relates to a corresponding imaging device (16) based on the detection of X-rayphotons (12, 14), in particular for medical use and to a method for counting X-rayphotons (12, 14), in particular photons in a computer tomograph.
