Abstract
A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a method and apparatus for reducing photoconductive effects in dual energy applications of solid state digital x-ray detectors. The method comprises exposing a detector to a first exposure from an energy source and obtaining a first image data set during a first read time from the first exposure following a first delay. The method further comprises exposing the detector to a second exposure from the energy source and obtaining a second image data set during a second read time from the second exposure following a second delay. The first delay is less than the second delay. The first read time is less than the second read time.
