Abstract

Time consuming calibration of a multi-element x-ray detector for an x-ray computed tomography machine that has multi-sample rate capabilities is reduced by determining through the use of air-scans, a scalar relationship between sensitivity of detector elements as a function of sampling rate. This scalar relationship is in vector form and may be applied to independently obtain calibration vectors at a base scan rate to provide effective calibration vectors at a variety of scan rates without the need for time consuming daily calibration scans at each of those sample rates.
