Zusammenfassung:A method for the detection of X-ray quants is provided. The X-ray quants are generated in an X-ray tube and impact on a multi-pixel X-ray detector including a two-dimensional matrix of test-signal-generating pixels. The method includes assigning, by an evaluation unit, pixels that generate a test signal within a predetermined time interval and are located in a cohesive cluster including a plurality of pixels to an event cluster. The test signals are used to approximate a position, at which the X-ray quant has interacted with the multi-pixel X-ray detector.
