Sensor array Heterogeneous Permutation, specific dislocation mode will be described in follow-up text.
Fig. 3 shows the scintillation crystal array of one embodiment of the invention and the coupling schematic diagram of photosensor array.Inspection
It is that 2xmm × 2ymm optical sensors are constituted to survey scintillation crystal and unit sizes that device is xmm × ymm by unit sizes, lower 2 × 2 light
Sensor array, upper strata is single sensor, couples 4 × 4 scintillation crystal arrays, i.e. in the present embodiment, single optical sensor coupling
Close 4 scintillation crystals.It should be noted that:The present invention is not intended to limit the type and size of single optical sensor and scintillation crystal,
The size of photosensor array and scintillation crystal array is not limited;And be not required for the length of side one of optical sensor and be set to scintillation crystal

The centre-to-centre spacing of sensor is 2 times of adjacent scintillation crystal centre-to-centre spacing.
With reference to refering to Fig. 4 A- Fig. 4 D, scintillation crystal is arranged in the diverse location of photosensor array, optical sensor 410,
420th, 430,440 the second photosensor array is constituted, the first photosensor array includes optical sensor 210.The coupling of optical sensor 410
Close the lower surface of scintillation crystal 1.1,1.2,2.1,2.2;The lower surface of 420 coupled scintillation crystal of optical sensor 1.3,1.4,2.3,2.4;
The lower surface of 430 coupled scintillation crystal of optical sensor 3.1,3.2,4.1,4.2;The coupled scintillation crystal 3.3 of optical sensor 440,3.4,
4.3rd, 4.4 lower surface.The upper surface of the coupled scintillation crystal 2.2,2.3,3.2,3.3 of optical sensor 210, and the second optical sensor battle array
The optical sensor 410,420,430,440 of row is parallel with the optical sensor 210 of the first photosensor array, i.e. two layers of light up and down
Sensor parallel.In order to ensure that each scintillation crystal is respectively provided with coupling uniqueness, i.e. different optical sensor above and below correspondence,

Relative second photosensor array misplaces 1 scintillation crystal distance respectively upwards.
According to the arrangement mode shown in Fig. 3, each scintillation crystal is respectively provided with coupling uniqueness, that is, corresponds to different up and down
Optical sensor.The upper surface of scintillation crystal 2.2,2.3,3.2,3.3 couples optical sensor 210 simultaneously, but lower surface is coupled respectively
Optical sensor 410,420,430,440.When decay occurs in scintillation crystal for γ photons produces visible ray subgroup, it is seen that photon
The reflected film reflection of group, while traveling to up and down in the SiPM of coupling, by judging whether SiPM collects energy i.e.
Can be to the carry out position decodings of γ photons in an event.
Because the reflecting layer being coated with can not 100% all photons of reflection, material of the scintillation crystal in growth and process
Expect inhomogeneities etc., it is seen that photon group has partial photonic during propagation and absorbed, the energy for causing sensor to receive
Gross energy of the amount less than visible ray subgroup produced by γ Photon Decays.When the reflectivity and material character of reflectance coating are determined, γ
The response location of photon is more remote from sensor, and absorbed energy is more in communication process, and the energy that sensor is received is fewer.
When by the way of being read using both-end coupling, when response location is close to scintillation crystal lower end, the energy that lower floor's optical sensor is received
Amount is more, and when response location is close to scintillation crystal upper end, the energy that upper strata optical sensor is received is more.According to two layers of sensor up and down
Energy size is received, the response location of γ photons is judged.Specifically:
Scintillation crystal 2.2:Optical sensor 410,210 has signal, is reacted according to optical sensor 410, the decoding of 210 signal magnitudes

Depth (such as Fig. 4 C);
Scintillation crystal 3.3:Optical sensor 440,210 has signal, is reacted according to optical sensor 440, the decoding of 210 signal magnitudes
Depth.
Because the DOI decoding process that the mutually similar scintillation crystal included is laid out shown in Fig. 3 is similar therefore only selective
The DOI decodings of wherein several scintillation crystals are discussed in detail in ground, and the DOI decodings of scintillation crystal can also be referring to table 1.
Table 1:
Therefore, when high-energy photon is incided on the scintillation crystal of diverse location, five optical sensors 210,410,
420th, 430,440 the signal of different coding can be exported., can be accurate by comparing the presence or absence of five photosensor signals and size
Ground calculates high-energy photon and incides the position reacted in scintillation crystal.

More than, what is provided is the embodiment that single optical sensor couples 4 scintillation crystals.Likewise, when single light sensing
, can be to γ light by the Heterogeneous Permutation of the optical sensor that two layers of optical sensor is displayed up and down when device couples 16 scintillation crystals
The response location and depth of son are decoded.Unlike:When single optical sensor couples 4 scintillation crystals, each crystal
The optical sensor of upper and lower ends face coupling has uniqueness, but during single optical sensor 16 scintillation crystals of coupling, every 4 crystalline substances
Body couples same a pair of sensors (without coupling uniqueness), now, can be by opening up light inlet window in scintillation crystal coated surface
Mouth (scintillation crystal referred to as " windowing " scintillation crystal for opening up optical transmission window), guiding optical photon is propagated, so as to single sensing
The detector structure that device couples 16 scintillation crystals carries out position decoding and depth decoding.
In order to be coupled to single sensor, the detector structure of 16 scintillation crystals carries out position decoding and depth is decoded,
In the coated surface of scintillation crystal, the reflection layer of face that is adjacent with the adjacent optical sensor scintillation crystal coupled (i.e. side)

Adjacent scintillation crystal is entered by optical transmission window with the relatively low photon group of the energy of rear generation (such as the photon group of 420nm),
And then the optical sensor collection coupled by adjacent scintillation crystal.So, for some scintillation crystal, multiple light sensings are passed through
The light distribution that device is detected can just calculate high-energy photon and there occurs in which of scintillation crystal array scintillation crystal instead
Answer (crystal positions decoding), and the reaction depth (DOI decodings) in the scintillation crystal.
According to the position of scintillation crystal in an array, three types, i.e. the first scintillation crystal, second can be substantially divided into
Scintillation crystal and the 3rd scintillation crystal.The main distinction of these three scintillation crystals is whether include optical transmission window and printing opacity

Two layers of photosensor array shifts to install situation and see table 3 above and below remaining detector.
Table 3
As can be seen from the above Table 2, when single optical sensor couples n1×n2Individual scintillation crystal (n1And n2For more than or equal to 2
Positive integer less than or equal to 6, and n2More than or equal to n1) when, two layers of photosensor array is wrong in the first dislocation direction and second up and down
Misplace M scintillation crystal distance and N number of scintillation crystal distance respectively on the direction of position, and wherein M is less than or equal to n1/ 2 positive integer,
N is less than or equal to n2/ 2 positive integer.
It should be noted that:The length of side one that optical sensor is not required in text is set to x times of the scintillation crystal length of side, certain
In the range of be slightly less than it is also possible, it is only necessary to when ensureing composition array, the centre-to-centre spacing of equidirectional upper adjacent photosensors is phase
X times of adjacent scintillation crystal centre-to-centre spacing.Dodged likewise, two layers of the sensor array up and down referred in text is listed in X-direction and misplaced x
Bright crystal distance, misplace y scintillation crystal distance in the Y direction, it is not required that the distance one of dislocation is set to the x of the scintillation crystal length of side
Times or y times, due to there is certain intervals to be used for filling reflecting material between adjacent scintillation crystal, therefore the distance of dislocation is slightly larger than flashing
X times or y times of the crystal length of side.

(1) it is simple in construction, it is not necessary to light guide
Conventional detector uses the less scintillation crystal of size, optical sensor to obtain higher position decoding precision
It can not correspond and couple with crystal, therefore one layer of light guide of increase between optical sensor and scintillation crystal, it is seen that photon passes through light
Received after leading by optical sensor.And the present invention can be reached together using the dislocation of photosensor array and the method for optical window
The decoding precision of sample, but extra photoconductive layer is not needed, detector structure does not change substantially, reduces increase structure
Error influences.
(2) possesses higher DOI decoding precision
