  • Title: An adjustable zoom-made gain control for computerized gamma-camera systems.
    Author: Richardson RL, Thomas FD.
    Journal: J Nucl Med; 1980 Aug; 21(8):790-2. PubMed ID: 7400837.
    Abstract:
    Many nuclear medicine departments use a digital computer to process scintillation-camera images. For optimal use of the computer, there should be a means to amplify the position signals of each scintillation event by an appropriate amount before their conversion to digital form. What is needed is a series of calibrated gains from which the best value may be chosen. Many systems now in use do not provide such a selection. The circuitry described here provides an inexpensive solution to this problem. It may be inserted between the camera and the computer's analog-to-digital converters to provide the desired amplification. No internal modification of the computer or the camera is required.
