Abstract
본 발명에서 제시한 신호처리회로는 차동 증폭기를 사용하기 때문에, 공통 위상의 노이즈를 제거하여 일반회로와 비교하여 저 잡음, 빠른 상승 시간을 가진 신호를 왜곡 없이 출력할 수 있다. 또한, 고주파대역 특성을 가지므로, 시간 분해능을 향상시킨다. 또한 이를 통해, LOR(line of response)에서 방사선 이벤트 발생 지점에 대한 예측 범위를 제한함으로써 신호대 잡음비를 향상시키고 영상의 이미지 품질을 향상시킬 수 있다. 추가적으로 에너지와 타이밍 정보를 따로 나누어 출력하여 서로 간의 간섭과 왜곡을 최소화하였고 결과적으로 개선된 시간 분해능과 에너지 분해능을 확인할 수 있다.
