Abstract
The techniques and device provided herein relate to regulating a source generator in an X-ray based equipment. In particular, an X-ray system is provided that comprises an X-ray generator and a reference detector system that regulates the output of the X-ray generator. The reference detector system comprises a direct channel that allows at least a portion of the photons to directly reach the detector crystal and a plurality of fluorescent channels, such that photon flux entering the reference detector from the fluorescent channels is negligibly impacted by variations of beam spots, shapes and/or positions.
