Abstract
A method is disclosed for reducing and compressing raw detector data to be transmitted of a quanta-counting detector. Count patterns are determined in the raw detector data, encoded with a reduced bit depth by comparison with the raw detector data, and the encoded count patterns are transmitted and decoded following the transmission. A data transmission path between a quanta-counting detector and a computer system is further disclosed, wherein program segments/modules are provided, which execute the afore-cited method steps during operation. Further, a CT system including such a data transmission path is also disclosed.
