Tim Szczykutowicz, PhD has been granted a patent for his project, X-ray Imaging Device Providing Enhanced Spatial Resolution by Energy Encoding.  “In a nutshell, the idea is to divide each detector into sub-regions via energy weighting of the spectra on a length scale smaller than the detector element. This way, if you acquire multiple energy resolved measurements, you can decouple the detector …
