Abstract

Hybrid detection systems and methods for C-arm interventional x-ray systems are provided. The hybrid detection system can have a changeable x-ray detection system that is coupled to an integrated within a C-arm x-ray imaging system. The changeable x-ray detector system can include an energy-integrating x-ray detector, and a photon-counting x-ray detector. The C-arm x-ray imaging system using only one detector at a time to acquire x-ray imaging data.
