Abstract:
A system and method include an array of sensors electrically coupled to a material capable of converting a gamma ray to electrical charge, where distances between a center of a first sensor and centers of each sensor immediately-adjacent to the first sensor are substantially equal. Signals are collected from each sensor immediately-adjacent to the first sensor, and one of a plurality of logical sub-pixels of the first sensor is determined based on the signals collected from each sensor immediately-adjacent to the first sensor.
