Problems solved by technology

Therefore, when the detector is determined, the energy calculations between the various detection modules are independent of each other, but because the system uses multiple crystals and photoelectric conversion devices, and there will be differences between circuits, the same method is used to calculate the energy received by the crystal. After the energy calculation of the γ photons with the same energy, the energy value corresponding to the count peak value detected by each crystal has a certain deviation from the energy value corresponding to the theoretical count peak value, and the calculated energy of each channel n
