Abstract
An X-ray imaging system employing pixel sensors in silicon-on-insulator technology is currently under development. The system consists of an SOI pixel detector (INTPIX4) and a DAQ system based on a multi-purpose readout board (SEABAS2). To correct a bottleneck in the total throughput of the DAQ of the first prototype, parallel processing of the data taking and storing processes and a FIFO buffer were implemented for the new DAQ release. Due to these upgrades, the DAQ throughput was improved from 6Â Hz (41Â Mbps) to 90Â Hz (613Â Mbps). The first X-ray imaging system with the new DAQ software release was tested using 33.3Â keV and 9.5Â keV mono X-rays for three-dimensional computerized tomography. The results of these tests are presented.
