Abstract
A distributed data collection architecture for a PET system includes a plurality of data collection boards, wherein each data collection board is coupled to a respective gantry segment of the PET system. The PET system includes a modular gantry having a plurality of gantry segments that are physically separate from each other, and each gantry segment includes a plurality of detector modules coupled to a respective data collection board. Each respective data collection board is configured to acquire all detector event data from a respective plurality of detector modules of the respective gantry segment the respective data collection board is coupled to. Only one data collection board of the plurality of data collection boards is configured to act as a master data collection board that collects all of the detector event data from each data collection board and to generate coincidence pairs from all of the detector event data.
