| titleOfInvention | Data derandomizer and method of operation for radiation imaging detection systems |
| abstract | ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION A nuclear imaging system includes an analog signal processor which features analog data derandomization for minimiz-ing data loss due to pulse pile-up. A scintillation detector provides a sequence of analog data pulses to the signal processor, the data pulses characterizing the energy level and situs of respective radiation events striking the detector. The signal processor includes sets of novel peak detectors and of sample and hold circuits which are serially connected and are operated to derandomize or space the sequence of analog data pulses so that the system can process pulses corresponding to photopeak events occurring only 1.5 microseconds apart. The analog data pulses are stored in analog pulse form in the peak detectors and are selectively transferred into the sample and hold circuitry from which they are transferred to the display mechanism. The signal processor is multiplexed with several data input channels for accommodating dual isotope operation. A control unit is provided which controls the data processing cycle according to a predeter-mined processing time, or according to signals from external system apparatus. The control unit provides automatic resetting for assurance that the signal processor does not become locked into an inoperative, nondata processing state. The novel peak detectors are controlled by the control unit and feature input biasing for increased detection sensitivity, proportional dumping for discharging the stored peak value at a rate proportional to the value of the stored peak, and selective input data gating so that only the peak containing portion of the input signal is input into the detector. |
