Symmetric image data capture from an asymmetric image detector

A method, comprising:

• reading image data signals in symmetric rows from an asymmetric image detector using an odd number of gate drivers;
• reading virtual symmetric rows using a virtual gate driver that provides dummy data that is supplemental symmetric data for the odd number of gate drivers;
• capturing image data and the dummy data in a data capture module;
• and
• sending the image data to an output communication interface.

A system, comprising:

• a gate controller for reading image data in symmetric rows from an asymmetric image detector using an odd number of gate drivers;
• a virtual gate driver for reading virtual symmetric rows using a virtual gate driver that provides dummy data that is supplemental symmetric data for the odd number of gate drivers;
• a data capture for capturing the image data and the dummy data in a data capture module;
• and
• a communication interface for sending the image data to an output communication interface.
