Abstract
An image detector is disclosed, in particular for X-ray radiation. In an embodiment, the image detector includes a regular arrangement of image pixels including a plurality of detector pixels, wherein at least two of the detector pixels of an image pixel differ with regard to their sensitivity.
Claims20
An image detector, comprising:
- a regular arrangement of image pixels including a plurality of detector pixels, at least two of the detector pixels of an image pixel differing with regard to sensitivity, such that the at least two of the detector pixels are used to metrologically detect different subranges of a provided dynamic range of a radiation power.
A method for operating an image detector, comprising:
- splitting into subranges, for generation of image data, a provided dynamic range of a radiation power for the image data, each subrange being metrologically detectable by way of a regular arrangement of detector pixels;
- and
- combining with one another, for imaging of the provided dynamic range, the measurement signals of the detector pixels of the regular arrangements.
