Abstract:
1. A method of detecting a plurality of photons from at least one section of at least one object, comprising: positioning at least one detector with a plurality of channels to intercept at least one portion of said plurality of photons to produce at least one signal; coupling at least one front-end readout system to at least one of said at least one detector, wherein said at least one front-end readout system receives at least one of said at least one signal; measuring at least one position and at least one direction of said at least one portion of said plurality of photons using at least one of said at least one signal; determining at least one energy range of at least one of said at least one signal; and processing at least one of said at least one position and at least one of said at least one energy range to produce at least one image of at least one of said at least one section on at least one display.
