✦ Synopsis
Electronics and data acquisition systems are important components of radiation detectors applied to medical imaging. The performance of these systems has strong implications on crucial parameters of imaging devices, like the sensitivity and the image background noise. The paper presents a review of the functionality, typical architectures and main components of the electronics and data acquisition systems in medical imaging.

Monolithic arrays of Silicon Drift Detectors (SDDs) have been recently proposed to be used with scintillators for high-positionresolution g-ray imaging applications. Thanks to the low electronics noise due to the small value of the output capacitance, the SDD offers better performances with respect
An on-line data acquisition system for external beam treatment planning has been developed. The hardware consists of a Tektronix 4054 Computer, an SHM Nuclear 3-D scanning water phantom, interfaces for 16 channels of ADC and 32 channels of digital I/O, and two detector probes for measuring dose dist
Design strategies, system configuration, and operation of a dualchannel data acquisition system for a radiofrequency (RF) timedomain electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometer/imager operating at 300 MHz are described.

## Abstract Geometric distortion caused by magnetic field inhomogeneity is generally an inevitable tradeoff for fast MRI acquisitions using echo‐planar imaging. Most of the existing distortion‐correction techniques require separate scans for field maps in order to correct the distortion contained i
