The following relates to a radiation sensitive detector, and
finds particular application to computed tomography (CT).
However, it also amenable to other medical imaging applications
and to non-medical imaging applications. A computed tomography
(CT) scanner includes an x-ray tube that emits polychromatic
radiation that traverses an examination region. A detector
array, which subtends an arc on a side of the examination region
opposite of the x-ray tube, detects radiation that traverses the
examination region. The detector array generates a signal that
is indicative of the examination region. A reconstructor
reconstructs the signal and generates volumetric image data
indicative of the examination region. An image processor
processes the volumetric image data to generate one or more
images of the examination region. With a CT scanner that
includes a conventional integrating, or indirect conversion
detector, such as a Gadolinium Oxysulfide (GOS) based detector,
the resulting image has included pixels represente
