Method and apparatus for extending a count rate capability of a detector array. The method includes receiving photons at a detector array, counting the photons that are above a first energy threshold using a first counter, counting the photons that are above a different second energy threshold using a second counter, and calculating a pile-up estimate using the photon counts from the first and second counters.

Method and apparatus for acquiring radiation data

Methods and systems for a medical imaging system are provided. The medical imaging system includes an input circuit configured to receive a voltage level signal indicative of a stream of pulses, a voltage level signal shape analyzer configured to determine shape characteristics of the received voltage level signal and an amount of time that the received voltage level signal matches a predetermined shape, and a counting circuit configured to determine a true number of pulses from the shape characteristics and the amount of time.

Methods and systems for medical imaging

A method and apparatus for reducing polarization within an imaging device are provided and include a method of controlling an image detecting device. The method includes applying heat to the image detecting device having at least one ohmic contact and controlling the applied heat to adjust a temperature level of the image detecting device.

Method and apparatus for reducing polarization within an imaging device

A gamma camera system that increases the count rate by counting events that time-wise appear to be pile-up events but are spatially separated.
