This study aims to research a gamma-ray real-time imaging method using a CPU-embedded FPGA. This study obtained three results: 1) We developed a digital circuit for extracting hit-pattern information and embedded it into our image sensor. This circuit contributed to efficient data acquisition of recoil electrons due to Compton scattering by gamma-rays. 2) We generated pseudo-image data of recoiled electrons by simulating Compton scattering events. We also generated a neural network data processing model using the image data. 3) We investigated a method to implement the developed model on the CPU-embedded FPGA.
