Abstract
A method and integrator circuit for digitally integrating signals wherein digital signals to be integrated are supplied to a digital adder thereby generating digital adder output signals. Each digital adder output signal is stored and the stored digital adder output signal is refed to the digital adder. Each refed stored digital adder output signal is then added by the adder to a succeeding digital signal supplied to the adder for integration. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the digital signals are analog-to-digital converted signals produced by a radiation detector, such as a scintillation gamma camera, generated from radiation impinging on the radiation detector.
