Abstract
In scintillation cameras, spatial or linearity correction is accomplished utilizing a weighted average of correction vectors in the region of the apparent location of scintillation events. Such vectors are developed in a calibration step using a pinhole or slot apertured mask. On the fly, vectors beyond those next adjacent the apparent location are used for correction, which are constrained to exhibit continuity in both the functional value, and at a minimum the first derivative, but which may include continuity in higher order derivatives also. One such correction function, which insures continuity in both the functional value and its first derivative, is called a Hermite interpolation function.
