Abstract
A data acquisition system is disclosed for use in radiographic imaging. The acquisition system includes at least two memory banks for storing radiographic data from a radiation detector, acquisition circuitry for sensing radiographic data when transmitted by the detector and for writing such data into one of the memory banks, and a controller for selecting a memory bank for storage of the data, and for switching from one memory bank to another, as well as for reading data from one or the other memory banks when such memory bank is not actively acquiring data.
