Abstract
A radiation detection device, a system, a method, or a computer program product are used in timestamping detected radiation quanta. The device includes an optical detector pixel array, a timestamp trigger unit and a timing unit. The timestamp trigger unit determines a pixel cell triggering rate for pixel cells within the optical detector pixel array. The timestamp trigger unit causes the timing unit to generate a timestamp based on the pixel cell triggering rate.
