Abstract

The invention relates to a method for processing locating pulses supplied by a gamma camera and to a gamma camera utilizing this method. In accordance with the invention, locating pulses (X.sup.+,X.sup.-,Y.sup.+,Y.sup.-) are taken into account by a calculator circuit (12) which performs the standardization of an (X,Y) coordinate signal proportional to the difference of two locating pulses (X.sup.+ -X.sup.-) along an axis by the sum of these same two locating pulses (X.sup.+ +X.sup.-) along this axis.
