Abstract
A method is for selection of a new detector module as replacement for a detector module built in to a detector of an X-ray computer tomograph. The method includes production of the detector module, using component with an unique electronically-stored code and generation of a data set containing the essential parameters of each detector module with reference to the code of each detector module. The method further includes storage of the data set and the codes in an electronic databank and electronic reading of the code of the detector module for exchange and comparison of the relevant stored data set with the data sets for new detector modules. Finally, the method includes selection of a new detector module according to set selection criteria.
