Time stamping of the detected radiation quantum

摘要

The present invention relates to a radiation detection device, a system, a method and a computer program product for use in timestamping detected radiation quanta. The device comprises an optical detector pixel array, a timestamp trigger unit and a timing unit. The timestamp trigger unit determines a pixel cell triggering rate for pixel cells within the optical detector pixel array. The timestamp trigger unit causes the timing unit to generate a timestamp based on the pixel cell triggering rate.
