METHOD AND SYSTEM OF DYNAMICALLY CONTROLLING SHAPING TIME OF A PHOTON COUNTING ENERGY-SENSITIVE RADIATION DETECTOR TO ACCOMMODATE VARIATIONS IN INCIDENT RADIATION FLUX LEVELS

摘要

A method and system of counting and tagging radiation energy received by a radiation detector is presented. The method and system are designed to dynamically control the sampling window or shaping time characteristics of a photon counting detector to accommodate variations of flux experienced by the detector so as to preserve optimum detector performance and prevent saturation during high flux conditions.
