  • Publication number: 20220202385
    Abstract: An X-ray detector unit is disclosed. In an embodiment, the X-ray detector unit includes: at least one analysis unit to process electrical signals delivered from a coupled converter unit and operatable by an operating voltage; an adjustable voltage supply, coupled to the at least one analysis unit, to provide an adjustable supply voltage; an identification unit, assigned to the at least one analysis unit, to provide identification information about the at least one analysis unit in a readable manner; and a communication unit, coupled to the adjustable voltage supply, to read the identification information provided from the identification unit, and based upon the identification information provided, to adjust the adjustable voltage supply to equate the provided supply voltage to the operating voltage of the at least one analysis unit.

  • Publication number: 20170322619
    Abstract: A detector facility for a medical imaging system is described. The detector facility has a plurality of individual detectors and at least one detector controller. The detector facility is embodied such that it can be switched to at least one power-saving mode, in which at least one portion of the components of the individual detectors is deactivated and concurrently at least one portion of the components of the detector controller is not deactivated. A medical imaging system, in particular a computed tomography system, having such a detector facility; and a corresponding method for operating a detector facility of a medical imaging system are also described.
