Cylindrical pet detector design
- 1. Physics Research Lab., Massachusetts General Hospital Boston, MA (USA)
Description
A cylindrically shaped high resolution PET detector that uses cross-plane coincidence events is being developed. A 2-D analog coded position sensitive detector is employed. It consists of a hexagonal array of PM Tubes and a rectangular array of crystals, 8 elements per PM Tube. The optics has been designed to maximize the light collection and to provide uniform spatial resolution. The detector will be 60 cm D X 11.5 cm W, the crystals are 3 X 5.7 X 30 mm. The design, associated electronics and results of measurements on a sector of the detector are presented
