A Monte Carlo method to assess the spectral performance of photon counting detectors
The method presented is a direct method to obtain all relevant quantities (MTF, NPS, various spectral DQEs) from an end-to-end Monte Carlo simulation of the detector. It allows for assessing detector systems currently being used and potential novel detector systems.
