A method of generating a filter () for a nuclear medicine system () where the filter selects valid detected radiation events for image processing. A dataset () is provided that is indicative of a plurality of emitted radiation events occurring over a predetermined period of time. Signals representative of the response of a detector to the dataset of the plurality of emitted radiation events are generated. A pattern is determined () based on a correlation of a plurality of signals resulting from the response of the detector to a plurality of single radiation events in the dataset. A filter is generated () based on the correlation pattern. A method and apparatus of using the generated filter is also disclosed.
