METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY (PET) EVENT LOSSES BY EFFECTIVE BANDWIDTH UTILIZATION

摘要

An event data transmission scheme is provided for reducing positron emission tomography event losses. The event data transmission scheme employs a more effective use of available data bandwidth. Each of a plurality of detector data slots is connected directly to a data aggregation control interface, and the control interface is connected to a coincidence processor.
