ABSTRACT:
The dead time of a nuclear imaging system is compensated for when recording a representation of a dynamically changing radiation field into an image memory by injecting into the system synthetic pulses which resemble, in terms of amplitude and shape, the pulses produced by the system in response to interaction with stimuli from the radiation field, and by determining the percentage of synthetic pulses which are processed by the system. A correction factor based on such percentage is applied to the representation of the field. The synthetic pulses are injected into the system at a predetermined rate with respect to the rate of pulses processed by the system in response to interactions with stimuli from the radiation field. This predetermined rate is functionally related to the rate at which input signals are processed by the system. The synthetic signals are injected in such a way that relatively low correlation exists between the pulses produced by interactions of stimuli from the radiation field and the synthetic pulses.
