RADIATION DETECTION APPARATUS AND METHOD, DATA PROCESSING METHOD AND PROCESSOR
First Claim
1. A radiation detection apparatus, comprising:
- a radiation detector which generates an electrical signal by interacting with X-rays;
an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) which is coupled to the radiation detector and converts the electrical signal to a waveform data; and
a data processor which determines the number of single photon signals according to the waveform data from the ADC, and determines whether an integral signal and/or a count signal of the waveform data will be used for imaging according to the number of the single photon signals.
