The electronic processor electronics for a high-speed Anger-type scintillation camera was designed. A bar camera consisting of a 2 in. x 2 in. x 20 in. long sodium iodide scintillation crystal and ten photomultipliers was assembled and tested together with the processor electronics. For this purpose, the digital output of the bar camera was interfaced to a microprocessor-controlled memory capable of expansion to a system with as many as six bar cameras in a hexagonal ring. Results achieved so far indicate a spatial resolution of 15 mm FWHM and count rates up to 900,000 counts per second.
