Abstract

An X-ray detector includes an arrangement of detector elements and an evaluation logic of the arrangement of detector elements. The evaluation logic includes a multi-level first multiplexer. A plurality of detector elements are assigned to a first group and each detector element of the first group is assigned to an input of a first level of the multi-level first multiplexer. The respective total number of the inputs of the levels of the multi-level first multiplexer is greater than the total number of outputs of the levels of the multi-level first multiplexer. A serial output is assigned to an output of a last level of the multi-level first multiplexer.
