Abstract

Row variable offsets in a large area solid state x-ray detector are compensated for. Initially, a calibration is performed to determine the row variable offsets. The calibration is achieved by measuring the average offset of each row. During normal operation, this offset is compensated for in a converting circuit. The required signal range of the converting circuit is consequently reduced.
