Abstract
In operation of a photon counting detecting system (), a number of pulse counts output by least one pixel () of a photon counting detector in response to experiencing a photon flux density during a sample interval is acquired and a photon flux density () or value related thereto corresponding to the pulse counts output by the pixel () is determined. A correction () for the thus determined photon flux density () or value related thereto is determined. A corrected number of pulse counts () is determined for the pixel () as a function of the thus determined corrected photon flux density value or value related thereto. An image can be displayed that is a function of the corrected number of pulse counts for pixels of the system.
