Threshold Modulation for Continuous Energy Resolution with Two Channels per Pixel in a Photon Counting X-ray Image Detector

• The introduction of energy resolution in X-ray image detectors will lead to tradeoffs between circuit complexity and spatial/energy resolution in the pixel design. The proposed method provides continuous energy resolution with only two energy channels per pixel, which is a comparable complexity to that of a window discriminator pixel like Medipix2. The paper illustrates the method and validates the method through analytical analysis and through simulation of real and synthetic data.
