Photon-counting Detectors

Photon-Counting Detectors is a type of X-ray detector that registers individual X-ray photons by converting each incident photon into an electrical pulse and applying a threshold-based discrimination to count photons according to their energy levels, thereby enabling high signal-to-noise ratio and energy-resolved imaging in medical imaging physics and observatory instrumentation.
