Abstract
A gamma camera system having control components operating in conjunction with a solid state detector. The detector is formed of a plurality of discrete components which are associated in geometrical or coordinate arrangement defining a detector matrix to derive coordinate signal outputs. These outputs are selectively filtered and summed to form coordinate channel signals and corresponding energy channel signals. A control feature of the invention regulates the noted summing and filtering performance to derive data acceptance signals which are addressed to further treating components. The latter components include coordinate and energy channel multiplexers as well as energy-responsive selective networks. A sequential control is provided for regulating the signal processing functions, of the system to derive an overall imaging cycle.
