N2 - Scintillation radiation detectors based on silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) are widely used nowadays both in various medical apparatus and physics experiments, e.g., in PET. At the same time, this technology has great potential in terms of creating X-ray photon counting detectors, which are in demand both in medicine and applied research. In this work, we investigate the influence of main SiPM parameters on the overall system performance, as well as different methods of data readout. It is shown that the use of SiPMs with shorter cell recovery time and larger number of microcells makes it possible to achieve a rate capability of 12 Mcps (mega counts per second) per channel. At the same time, the scintillator decay time is still among the limiting factors for such systems.
