摘要： An integrated circuit device having multiple communication modes is provided. The integrated circuit device includes a transceiver coupled to first and second data lines. The integrated circuit device further includes a voltage control circuit. The voltage control circuit determines whether or not an external device is connected to the integrated circuit device. In the case where the external device is connected to the integrated circuit device, the voltage control circuit controls the voltage of the first data line so as to cause the external device to not recognize the integrated circuit device for a predetermined time.

摘要： A greatly reduced number of scintillation cyrstal/PMT gamma ray detectors are employed in a ring array about a PET image volume. Because of the relatively small number of such detectors, the complexity and expense of associated electronic signal processing channels is greatly reduced (even if each such channel is provided with sophisticated time of flight capabilities). Similarly, because relatively fewer crystals are employed, it becomes possible to use much larger and faster response time scintillation crystals so as to greatly increase gamma ray detection efficiency and scatter rejection while also permitting the electronic circuits to better reject random events and to provide effective time of flight image data filtering. By providing successively offset collimation apertures for each successive detector of the ring array and by rotating the array 360 degrees through a large number of successive view angle positions, it is nevertheless possible to acquire extremely high resolution image data with a greatly reduced system cost. A multiple aperture embodiment provides improved sensitivity by using associated light collimators and photodiodes in conjunction with slow coincidence steering circuits.
