Abstract
A method for identifying localized optical emission is disclosed. The method involves identifying a region, which corresponds to a plurality of scintillator units of a scintillator, on a position sensitive photodetector that is impacted by one or more photons. The method further involves identifying a readout channel of a pixellated photodetector array that corresponds to a pixel associated with a scintillator unit impacted by the one or more photons. The method, further involves, identifying the scintillator unit based on the region and the readout channel.
