Abstract

See full text

The present invention discloses an apparatus for use in medical imaging including a readout circuit having an input for receiving a detection signal corresponding to a photon hitting a radiation detector, wherein the readout circuit is adapted to output, in response to receiving said detection signal, a pulse signal having a leading edge encoding a time-stamp of said photon and a width encoding the energy of said photon. A method of reading out detection signals from a radiation detector of a medical imaging apparatus is also provided.
