Abstract
An apparatus suitable for detecting X-ray is disclosed. In one example, the apparatus comprises an X-ray absorption layer and a controller. The X-ray absorption layer comprises a first pixel and a second pixel. The controller is configured for determining that carriers generated by a first X-ray photon are collected by the first pixel and the second pixel, and resetting signals associated with the carriers collected by the first pixel and the second pixel.

An apparatus suitable for detecting X-ray, comprising:
- an X-ray absorption layer;
- a first pixel and a second pixel;
- and
- a controller configured for:
- determining whether carriers generated in the X-ray absorption layer by an X-ray photon are collected by the first pixel and the second pixel, and
- after determination that the carriers are collected by the first pixel and the second pixel, resetting signals associated with the carriers collected by the first pixel and the second pixel without reading the signals.
