Method for determining individual quantum absorption events in a radiation converter for converting individual quanta of ionizing radiation incident on it, program code segment for carrying out the method, device for electronic data processing, radiation converter and imaging tomography scanner

摘要

A method is disclosed for determining individual quantum absorption events in a radiation converter which counts quanta. In at least one embodiment of the method, temporally continuous analog-to-digital conversion of electrical signals generated by a quantum absorption event to a digital signal is carried out first of all by the radiation converter. The digital signal is then processed to determine the number of quanta of the underlying quantum absorption event absorbed in the radiation converter.
