1. A diagnostic imaging apparatus comprising: a detector array including individual detectors for receiving radiation events from an imaging region; a triggering processor for assigning a time stamp to received potential events; an event verification processor that applies verification criteria to detector channel hits; an event transformation processor that transforms received events and corresponding lines of response into spatially displaced transformed events; a list mode event storage buffer for storing valid time stamped events; and a reconstruction processor for reconstructing valid events into an image representation of the imaging region.
