Abstract

Systems and methods for configuring a radiation detector are provided. A first event is detected at a first scintillator crystal of a first detector unit. A second coincident event is detected at a second scintillator crystal of a second detector unit adjacent to the first detector unit. Operating parameters are calculated for the first detector unit based on the coincident events.
