Research on photon counting detectors (PCDs) is focused on semiconductor materials, and silicon is a strong candidate to use in PCDs for photon counting computer tomography (CT). In a silicon detector, a significant portion of the counts is due to Compton scattering events. Since only part of the incident photon energy is deposited in a Compton interaction, Compton interactions lead to a loss of spectral information. By using Compton coincidence detection, i.e., combining information from multiple Compton events caused by the same incident photon, it is possible to obtain more spectral information from Compton scattered photons, increasing the energy resolution of the detector. The goal of this thesis is to develop and evaluate a method for...
