Abstract
In a method and control unit for activating an X-ray detector, having an X-ray sensitive sensor layer and an arrangement of pixel electrodes connected at the back to the sensor layer, an individually adjusted depletion voltage is applied to each of the pixel electrodes. The value of the depletion voltages applied to different pixel electrodes is chosen to be different such that the effective pixel sizes respectively associated with the pixel electrodes are aligned with each other.
