Abstract
A radiation imaging device includes an image cell array having an array of detector cells and an array of image cell circuits. Each image cell circuit is associated with a respective detector cell and includes counting. The image cell circuits may include threshold circuitry configured to receive signals generated in the respective detector cell and having values dependent on the incident radiation energy. The counting circuitry may be coupled to the threshold circuitry.
