Abstract
A data processing system (10) for compressing gamma spectroscopy data includes a data input (18) for receiving data representing counts for each of a plurality of bins. The counts represent a set of binned gamma spectroscopy data. The data processing system (10) also includes a processor (20). The processor (20) is arranged to: read the counts in each bin; calculate a measure representative of the counts using the counts in one or more of the bins; choose, using the measure, which one of at least two compression schemes to use to compress the data representing the counts; and compress the data representing the counts according to the chosen compression scheme; and write the compressed data representing the counts to a data storage device (22).
