Abstract
A method of calibrating a pixelated radiation detector containing a plurality of pixel detectors electrically connected to a plurality of respective read-out channels of detector read-out circuitry includes determining a sensor material deadtime, τ, for each of the plurality of pixel detectors, and adjusting the respective read-out channel deadtime, τ, based on the determined sensor material deadtime, τ, of the respective one of the plurality of pixel detectors, such that a total deadtime, τof each pixel detector including a sum of the respective sensor material deadtime, τ, and the respective read-out channel deadtime, τ, varies by less than ±5% from each other.
