Zero-frequency DQE, taking into account the detector cascade and pixel noise. The family of curves shown gives the DQE for the simulated detector as derived by equation (14)[link] for regions of interest consisting of 6 × 6, 10 × 10, 14 × 14 and 18 × 18 pixels. For relatively weak signals of less than 1 × 104 X-ray photons, the size of the region of interest becomes important owing to the pixel-noise component of the DQE expression. At high flux, the DQE is limited by the phosphor quantum absorption and the response of the cascade chain.
