Abstract
A method for acquiring an image data set comprising energy integrating (EI) and energy discriminating (ED) data measurements is provided. The method comprises obtaining EI measurement data and ED measurement data during an acquisition cycle. The method then comprises combining the EI measurement data and the ED measurement data before, during or after reconstruction. Finally the method comprises performing reconstruction on the original or combined datasets to obtain one or more of an EI image and one or more ED component images.
