Abstract
Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are described for triggering a radiation imaging system to perform data acquisition. A radiation imaging system may comprise a rotating gantry configured to rotate a radiation source and a detector array about an object to generate an image(s) of the object. A data acquisition system is configure to integrate charge that has accumulated during a period of time. A temporal length between integrations (e.g., an integration period) is adjusted based upon a desired number of total integrations to be performed during the revolution, changes in the rotational speed of the rotating gantry during the revolution, and/or a collective integration time for integrations already performed during the revolution.
