View triggering for radiation imaging system

A method for triggering an radiation imaging system to perform data acquisition, comprising:

• determining a desired total number of integrations for a revolution of a rotating gantry;
• determining a first integration period between integrations for a sector based upon a rotational period of the rotating gantry at a start of the sector;
• at a defined location in the revolution, determining a collective integration time of integrations performed from a start of the revolution;
• and
• determining a second integration period between integrations for a second sector based upon the collective integration time.

A radiation imaging system, comprising:

• a radiation source;
• a detector array comprising one or more detector cells configured to accumulate charge generated responsive to impinging radiation emitted by the radiation source;
• a rotating gantry configured to rotate the radiation source and the detector array;
• and
• a data acquisition system configured to integrate the charge that has accumulated during a view, where an integration period between integrations is adjusted during a revolution of the rotating gantry based upon:
• a number of integrations remaining to be performed;
• and
• a collective integration time of integrations performed during a first portion of the revolution.
