Abstract
A radiation detection system includes a detector unit and at least one processor. The detector unit is configured to generate signals responsive to radiation events. The at least one processor receives the signals, and is configured to obtain a first count for at least one of the signals corresponding to a first energy window, the first energy window corresponding to values higher than a nominal peak value; obtain a second count for the at least one of the signals corresponding to a second energy window, the second energy window corresponding to values lower than the nominal peak value; obtain at least one auxiliary count for the at least one of the signals corresponding to at least one auxiliary energy window; and adjust a gain applied to the signals based on the first count, the second count, and the at least one auxiliary count.
