Abstract
Systems and methods for detecting multiple events during nuclear imaging scans, and for reconstructing images based on the detected events, are disclosed. In some embodiments, an image scanning system scans a subject, and generates a signal characterizing a detection event. The system applies a peak detection process to the signal and, based on the application of the peak detection process, detects a position of each of a plurality of peaks of the signal. Further, the system determines an amplitude of each of the peaks of the signal. The system also determines an energy value for each of the peaks based on applying a curve fitting process to the position and the amplitude of each of the peaks. The system may also determine a time-offset value for a peak based on its position in relation to a previous peak, and may transmit the energy values and corresponding times to generate time-coincident pairs for image reconstruction.
