  • Publication number: 20250169786
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for determining coincidence events. The systems and methods may obtain a cycle difference between a first clock cycle at which a first single event occurs and a second clock cycle at which a second single event occurs. The systems and methods may also obtain a first time-to-digital converter (TDC) value of the first single event and a second TDC value of the second single event. The systems and methods may then determine a difference between the first single event and the second single event based on the cycle difference, the first TDC value, and the second TDC value, and determine whether the first single event and the second single event have a coincidence relationship according to the difference.

  • Patent number: 12213826
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for determining true coincidence events. The systems and methods may determine original coincidence events based on time of occurrence of a plurality of single events. The systems and methods may also determine random coincidence events by processing the plurality of single events based on cycle offsets of detector units that detect the plurality of single events. A difference of any two cycle offsets may be greater than a predetermined coincidence window width. The systems and methods may then determine the true coincidence events based on the original coincidence events and the random coincidence events.
