A comparative study of a dual‐energy‐like imaging technique based on counting‐integrating readout

Abstract

The novel concept of simultaneous counting of photons and integrating the x-ray energy flux has a large potential for dual-energy applications in both projection and tomographic x-ray imaging. Future work will have to focus on the sensitivity of the CIX dual-energy concept to scattered radiation, detector imperfections and high x-ray fluxes.
