Abstract:
A gamma ray camera A includes a crystal array S which includes a plurality of pixels each of which outputs a pixel signal in response to receiving a gamma ray. A first circuit (and ) outputs for each pixel of the crystal array S, when a pixel signal output by the pixel has a predetermined relation to a reference signal, a threshold signal related to the position of the pixel in the crystal array S. A second circuit (and ) outputs a counter value for each pixel signal having a predetermined relation to its threshold signal. Lastly, a third circuit accumulates for each pixel of the crystal array S a count of the counter values output by the second circuit (and ) for the pixel
