-
Last generation DSP (digital signal processor) based front end.
-
New digital acquisition interface to
connect directly with detector signals (analog summer) and replace all
analog front end boards and digital correction & processing harware.
-
Analog signal path is reduced to a
minimum. No signal drifts.
-
Six analog input channels. Six high speed / high resolution ADC (analog to
digital converter).
-
DAC (digital to analog converter) board to control PMT (photomultiplier
tubes) and HV (high voltage).
-
High count rate: > 500 kcps. Low dead
time (1 µs
typical).
-
Less power consumption. Less heat productiion (no fans required). Less
noise.
-
Smaller footprint:original
bulky consoles can be removed because all their functions are now done by
the IM512P/E.
-
Original gantry and detector remain unmodified. Existing HV and LV power
supplies are used.
-
Last generation PC to host the IM512P/E
acquisition and processing software linked by a
high speed USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) interface.
-
All image corrections are done in real time by our software: energy,
linearity, uniformity.
-
New opto-isolated ECG gating module
(battery powered). Digital input for R wave synchronization. Analog input
for ECG waveform display.
-
Final camera specifications usually
better than the original (analog front end) camera.
