Abstract
Digital detection of the occurrence of nuclear medicine radiation interaction events in a detector utilizes a digital energy signal sample to trigger signal processing of event signals from the detector by performing mathematical operations on the energy signal sample to determine the existence of a set of predetermined conditions that indicate the beginning of an interaction event in the detector.
