Scintillation-Camera Simulator for Remote-Data Acquisition Testing

Scripps Memorial Hospital, La Jolla, California

ABSTRACT

A device based on an 8080 microprocessor was assembled for the generation of image data in a manner similar to that of the scintillation camera. This "simulator" thus permits testing of the integrity of systems for the acquisition of data over long transmission lines, without tying up the portable scintillation camera. The simulator has improved the reliability of remote-data collections and has increased the efficiency of utilization of the camera.
