    A novel system connects multiple scintillation cameras to computers using differential signal transmission for reduced noise. This setup enhances data acquisition reliability in medical imaging applications.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Instrumentation
    • Signal Processing

    Background:

    • Scintillation cameras are crucial for medical imaging.
    • Existing systems face challenges with signal transmission over long distances.
    • Need for robust and flexible camera-computer interfacing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a newly developed system for connecting multiple scintillation cameras to computers.
    • To detail the signal transmission methods employed to overcome distance limitations.
    • To present practical implementation features and troubleshooting for the system.

    Main Methods:

    • Parallel connection of up to four scintillation cameras to two computers.
    • Utilized signal drivers for differential analog signal transmission over twin-paired lines.
