Since the start of the SoHO mission, EIT -the Extreme ultraviolet Imaging Telescope- offers a global view of the solar corona over the whole rising phase of the current activity cycle. Such a dataset is unprecedented. We give here the current results of an on-going investigation over the entire EIT archive. In the Fe XV images (2 MK), the on-disk and off-disk intensity distributions have been evaluated, and their evolution is described. Additionally, we developed an image processing technique that extracts the smallest detectable features. The cosmic ray hits are statistically disentangled from the solar point-like phenomena, and the trends in both rates are assessed.
