A novel modular and flexible readout electronics for photon imaging applications

The design and first test results of new readout electronics for a Multi Anode PhotoMultiplier Tube (MAPMT) array is reported. The system has been developed to perform the readout of arrays of 64 or 256-channels MAPMTs, used in single photon imaging applications, such as Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) for medical studies on stem cells or clinical diagnosis of breast-cancer.
