A system for identifying radionuclide emissions is described. The system
includes at least one processor for processing output signals from a
radionuclide detecting device, at least one training algorithm run by the
at least one processor for analyzing data derived from at least one set
of known sample data from the output signals, at least one classification
algorithm derived from the training algorithm for classifying unknown
sample data, wherein the at least one training algorithm analyzes the at
least one sample data set to derive at least one rule used by said
classification algorithm for identifying at least one radionuclide
emission detected by the detecting device.
