Abstract:
Some embodiments include transmission of a pulse to imaging elements in order to read an image frame from the imaging elements, prior to exposure of the imaging elements to radiation that is to be converted to and captured as image data, wherein the pulse is transmitted so that the image frame is read and the imaging elements become ready to capture image data associated with the radiation substantially immediately before the imaging elements are exposed to the radiation. Embodiments may also include transmission of a second pulse to the imaging elements in order to read a second image frame from the imaging elements, wherein the second pulse is transmitted at a predetermined time after the exposure of the imaging elements to the radiation is complete, wherein one of the imaging elements produces second radiation after the exposure of the imaging elements to the radiation is complete, and wherein the predetermined time is a time suitable to substantially capture image data associated with the second radiation.
