Abstract. The advent of digital SiPMs has brought new opportunities to the field of PET and SPECT but also new challenges. Digital SiPMs deliver more detailed spatial and temporal information of the photon showers originating from Gamma events, but the bandwidth of this data can be very large. On the other hand the structure of the data can be used to perform compression and filtering in...
