Abstract: A read network topology for a matrix output device with a number of outputs determined by cross-joining “m” rows and “n” columns comprises a basic filtering block replicated for all the outputs and separately assigned to each of the outputs; each filtering block contains two filtering circuits that have a common input connection to the assigned matrix output and that provide two separate symmetrical and filtered outputs; all the row outputs (i) from the same row “i” but from different columns are interconnected to an input of an amplifier linked to row “i”, and all the column outputs (j) from the same column “j” but from different rows are connected together to an input of an amplifier linked to column “j”, the complete topology appearing when “i” and “j” are expanded in the respective intervals thereof.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a method to reduce the number of signals to be read out in a detector characterized in that it comprises using a lower photosensor granularity at least at the center obtaining a granularity degree at the photosensor that is edge dependent, wherein the granularity at the detector corners can be higher than at any other detector zone or wherein the granularity at the detector edges can be higher than at any other detector zone, and wherein the number of signals to be read out is reduced by joining signals in at least the center zone of the detector, or is reduced by using different photosensor elements at the center of the photosensor with regard to the remaining photosensor zones, and its use in nuclear medicine imaging techniques.
