In multi-modal imaging, now that the compatibility of the acquisition chains (thousands of Silicon Photo-Multipliers channels) of gamma detectors with Tesla-level magnetic fields has been demonstrated, other development directions, enabled by microelectronics, can be envisioned in particular for single-photon emission tomography (SPECT): a faster and simplified operation, for instance, to allow transportable applications (bed-side) and hardware pre-processing that reduces the number of output signals and the image reconstruction time. Architecture of the gamma camera of the INSERT SPECT system: the current signals of 72 silicon photo-multiplier (SiPM) pixels are read by two ASICs [43] , featuring a low-impedance input stage, programmable shaper, peak stretcher and fast comparator to trigger the acquisition of events by the FPGA-based DAQ unit [44] .	./cache/cord-011990-feqqx32n.txt	./txt/cord-011990-feqqx32n.txt
