摘要： A method and integrator circuit for digitally integrating signals wherein digital signals to be integrated are supplied to a digital adder thereby generating digital adder output signals. Each digital adder output signal is stored and the stored digital adder output signal is refed to the digital adder. Each refed stored digital adder output signal is then added by the adder to a succeeding digital signal supplied to the adder for integration. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the digital signals are analog-to-digital converted signals produced by a radiation detector, such as a scintillation gamma camera, generated from radiation impinging on the radiation detector.

摘要： A method and apparatus are disclosed for correcting energy (Z) signal non-uniformities in the response of an Anger-type scintillation camera to image events occurring at different (X, Y) positions on the camera face. Energy correction factors f(P)' corresponding to deviations of up to .+-.12.8% from a reference pixel area are determined off-line for 4,096 camera face pixel areas from a uniform flood field source Z-map. The correction factors f(P)' are stored in a 64.times.64 array of a correction factor memory, addressable by image event (X, Y) position coordinates. During on-line operation, for each image event the correction factor f(P)' corresponding to the image event (X, Y) position is retrieved, scaled in a multiplying digital to analog converter by the actual energy Z.sub.IN of the event, and added to the event Z.sub.IN signal to provide a corrected energy signal Z.sub.c =Z.sub.IN (1+f(P)') which is proportional to the incoming signal. The corrected energy signal is then applied to a fixed energy window analyzer to determine acceptance or rejection of the event. The invention is especially advantageous for correcting energy non-linearities in the detection of single source with multiple energy levels and multiple sources with different energy levels.

摘要： Timing is determined in positron emission tomography (PET). Two or more different types of timing detection are used for each event. The difference in time from the different types of timing detection may indicate whether or not an error has occurred. An average difference or other typical offset difference may be used to correct the error. During pile up, the difference information may be used to create a missing time, such as using an average difference between second derivative and constant fraction discrimination as an offset to determine constant fraction timing from second derivative timing.

摘要： A data processing process and embodiment for optimizing the signal path for multi-modality imaging is described. The embodiment and process optimizes the signal to noise ratio in a positron emission tomography (PET) signal path utilizing scintillation crystals, avalanche photo diodes, and charge sensitive preamplifiers in a dual modality MRI/PET scanner. The dual use of both and analog pole zero circuit and a digital filter enables higher signal levels or a fixed ADC input range and thus a higher possible signal to noise ratio in the presence of significant pileup caused by high positron activity. The higher signal to noise ratio is needed in the PET signal architecture, because of the presence of non-modal time varying electromagnetic fields from the MR, which are a significant source of noise for the wideband PET signal modality.

摘要： A method and apparatus for the dynamic modification of the spatial distortion correction capabilities of a scintillation camera having spatial distortion correction apparatus. The spatial distortion correction apparatus includes a memory having stored therein spatial distortion correction factors in a predetermined addressable format. During the on-line use of the scintillation camera, the spatial distortion correction apparatus transforms the image event coordinate position data from the scintillation camera in accordance with the stored distortion correction factors to provide corrected image event coordinate repositioning data. The spatial distortion correction modification apparatus and method provides modification of the corrected image event coordinate data in accordance with the respective energy levels of the image events to provide accurate spatial distortion correction characteristics for the actual energy levels of the image events. The scintillation camera is thus automatically and dynamically capable of correcting for spatial distortion effects for image events of different energy levels. Different energy levels of image events occur when the scintillation camera is utilized with energy sources having multiple energy levels or a different energy level than the energy level at which the stored spatial distortion correction factors were calculated. The spatial distortion correction modification apparatus provides operation without the alteration of the scintillation camera apparatus and without any change in the stored correction factors. In a preferred embodiment, a coordinate correction factor of the spatial distortion correction apparatus is modified in accordance with the energy level of each image event, the coordinate correction factor of the spatial distortion correction apparatus being combined with the image event coordinate position data to provide corrected image event coordinate data.
