Abstract :
This paper presents a circuit of a digitized position decoder circuit for brain PET consisting of Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM). Difference of proposed circuit and traditional circuit is the existence of analog-to-digital convertor (ADC). In this work, we conclude that the combination of ADC, field programmable gate array (FPGA) and digital data acquisition (DAQ) board can be substitute for an existing analog DAQ.
