BenefitsBenefits
Interfaces directly with Detector Signals (analog summer)
More Stable– Analog Signal path is reduced to a minimum, no signal drifts.
Less Power // Less Heat // Less Noise– Replaces all Analog Front End boards and Digital Correction
& Processor Hardware, Less power consumption, No fans required.
Smaller Footprint– Bulky Consoles can be removed.
Better Specs– Final Camera Specs are usually better than the original
(analog front end) camera.

Modifications to original Apex CameraModifications to original Apex Camera
Original APEX Gantry and Detector remain unmodified. We remove ALL Consoles, Monitors and Keyboard. We remove ALL Boards inside de Floor Cabinet. We add a last generation DSP based Front End and a DAC
board to control PMTs and HV. We use existing HV and LV power supplies. We add a new opto-isolated ECG gating module. We add a last generation PC that hosts the IM512P Acquisition
and Processing Software linked by a high speed USB2.0 interface.
We provide a New Linearity Dot Mask, for Linearity Map acquisition.
All Image Corrections are done in real time by our software.
