Abstract. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) cameras provide a real-time data acquisition challenge. A PET camera typically has several hundred detector modules, each servicing about 150 scintillator crystals. Each detector module must identify 511 keV gamma ray interactions (Singles Events) at sustained rates of up to 1 MHz, and for each interacting gamma ray, measure the interaction...
