Abstract
A system and method for producing a computed tomography (CT) medical image includes receiving x-rays passing through an object with a photon-counting detector system, which includes a plurality of detector pixels configured to generate a photon-counting signal in response to receiving each photon of the x-rays having passed through the object. The method also includes summing a charge associated with each photon received at a given detector pixel of the plurality of pixels to generate a charge integration signal, utilizing the charge integration signal to correct a count of the photon-counting signal for pileup-induced count losses to create a corrected photon-counting signal, and reconstructing an image of the object using the corrected photon-counting signal.
