Photon-counting-based hybrid flat panel detector, image data reading method, and medical imaging apparatus

Abstract

Disclosed is a photon-counting-based hybrid flat panel detector. The photon-counting-based hybrid flat panel detector includes a photon-counting detection module having a first radiation detection surface, and two energy-integrating detection modules each having a second radiation detection surface. The first radiation detection surface extends in a strip shape along a first direction, and the second radiation detection surfaces are planar. The two energy-integrating detection modules are arranged on two opposite sides of the photon-counting detection module, such that the second radiation detection surfaces are arranged on two opposite sides of the first radiation detection surface in a second direction. The first radiation detection surface and the second radiation detection surfaces jointly form a radiation detection surface of the photon-counting-based hybrid flat panel detector. Also disclosed are a medical imaging apparatus and an image data reading method.
