Abstract
A circuit for receiving signals from a photodetector array arranged to detect signals generated by a crystal includes a plurality of summing circuits having weighting circuits, the summing circuits being configured to produce outputs corresponding to a total energy of the signals, a position of the signals in a first dimension of the photodetector array, a position of the signals in a second dimension of the photodetector array, and a radius of a charge distribution of the signals.
