Dedicated readout ASIC for dual modality probe

The bimodal diagnostic systems like ultrasound/scintigraphic ones have the benefit of providing both morphological and physiological information. In the case in which it intends to develop a compact bimodal probe it is important that, as the readout electronics are doubled, the acquisition system is the most compact possible. In this paper we present the characterization and preliminary measurements on a multi-channel readout ASIC for PSPMTs.
