Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprises: capturing spatially resolved dose profiles for an x-ray imaging scan of at least one examination object in accordance with initial recording parameters via a photon-counting x-ray detector, wherein each photon-counting detector element provides a dose value depending on a number of detected x-ray photons after an interaction between x-ray radiation and the at least one examination object, and wherein the dose profiles are formed by the dose values of the detector elements of each of one or more x-ray imaging scans; and provisioning adjusted recording parameters by applying a trained function to input data, wherein the input data is based on the initial recording parameters and the dose profiles, and the trained function is based on a dose-aware signal quality metric.

Abstract: A method for operating a computed tomography facility includes, during an imaging process, dividing detector data into: (1) a first data stream with first detector data sufficient for the reconstruction of an evaluable computed tomography image dataset after completion of the raw data acquisition with the at least one X-ray detector with a data transmission rate corresponding at most to the maximum transmission rate; and (2) a second data stream comprising the remaining detector data as second detector data. The method further includes: transferring the first data stream as a real-time transmission directly to a computing facility via a communication path; storing the second detector data in a temporary storage facility; and, after completion of the raw data acquisition with the at least one X-ray detector and the transmission of the first data stream, transmitting the second detector data to the computing facility via the communication path.
