An X-ray imaging system includes a gantry with moving and stationary parts on moving and stationary sides, respectively, the parts communicatively coupled via a data communication system. The moving part includes an X-ray source to emit X-rays; an X-ray detector configured to generate detector data; and on-moving-gantry processing circuitry. The on-moving-gantry processing circuitry is configured to determine, for each of a number of partial data sets of the generated detector data, a metric value of at least one metric, the metric value being translatable into a type of data management for the partial data set among at least two different types of data management. The processing circuitry further configured to decide, for each partial data set, how it set is to be treated based on the determined metric value of the at least one metric and to selectively effectuate data management according to the corresponding type of data management.
An X-ray imaging system comprising:
A method of operating an X-ray imaging system having a gantry including a moving part on a moving side and a stationary part on a stationary side, the moving part and the stationary part being communicatively coupled via a data communication system, wherein the moving part comprises an X-ray source configured to emit X-rays, an X-ray detector configured to generate detector data, and on-moving-gantry processing circuitry, said method comprising:
A non-transitory computer-program product comprising a non-volatile computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program, said computer program comprising instructions, which when executed by processing circuitry arranged on a moving part of an X-ray imaging system, cause said processing circuitry to:
