Description

Present-day data processing units connected to scintillation gamma cameras can make use of cabled programme or recorded programme systems. The NUKAB system calls on the latter technique. The central element of the data processing unit, connected to the PICKER DYNA CAMERA II output, consists of a DIGITAL PDP 8E computer with 12-bit technological words. The use of a 12-bit technological format restricts the possibilities of digitalisation, 64x64 images representing the practical limit. However the NUKAB system appears well suited to the processing of data from gamma cameras at present in service. The addition of output terminals of the tracing panel type should widen the possibilities of the system. It seems that the 64x64 format is not a handicap in view of the resolution power of the detectors

Abstract (French)

Actuellement les unites de traitement de l'information reliees aux gamma cameras a scintillations peuvent se concevoir au moyen de systemes a programmes cables ou de programmes enregistres. Le systeme NUKAB fait appel a cette derniere technique. L'element central de l'unite de traitement de l'information branchee en sortie DYNA CAMERA II PICKER est forme d'un ordinateur DIGITAL PDP 8E a mots technologiques de 12 bits. L'utilisation d'un format technologique a 12 bits limite les possibilites de digitalisation. Pratiquement on se trouve limite a des images 64x64. Neanmoins, le systeme NUKAB parait bien adapte au traitement des informations provenant des gamma cameras actuellement en service. L'adjonction de peripheriques de sortie du genre table tracante devrait etendre les qualites du systeme. Il ne semble pas que le format 64x64 soit un handicap compte tenu du pouvoir de resolution des detecteurs
