In one embodiment of the present invention, the electrooptical device for being coupled in same scintillator is connected to together One time signal read circuit.
In one embodiment of the present invention, in the probe unit, 4 electrooptical devices are coupled in Same scintillator.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the scintillator is cube, 4 electrooptical device couplings Together in the same face of the scintillator.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the energy signal reading circuit includes row signal read-out channel and row Signal read-out channel, the row, column information of energy signal is read by the passage respectively, determines the detection thing Positional information of the part in the detection array.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the energy signal reading circuit includes the first differential circuit, leads to First differential circuit is crossed to sum to each row, column signal, decode to obtain the positional information.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the time signal reading circuit includes the second differential circuit, leads to Second differential circuit is crossed to believe the time of the electrooptical device for being coupled in same scintillator Number accelerated.

【Embodiment】
In order to facilitate the understanding of the purposes, features and advantages of the present invention, it is right below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings The embodiment of the present invention is described in detail.
Fig. 1 is positron emission tomography photon detection apparatus structure schematic diagram, is retouched as illustrated examples State, in positron emission computerized tomography (PET), radiopharmaceutical is injected into imaging object, its radioactivity Decay event produces positive electron.Each positive electron is with electron interaction to produce the gamma of two phase opposite senses (γ) photon.The gammaphoton is detected device detecting and is carried out meeting verification by system, and is responded Line is counted with reconstruction image.Photon detection device proposed by the present invention for positron emission tomography, Include the detection array being made up of multiple probe units 100.As shown in figure 1, detection array annular cloth It is placed in around checked object, will after the probe unit for constituting detection array detects photo-event 200 The energy information of detection photon, temporal information, positional information are collected, changed and after reponse system progress Continuous processing.
Probe unit 100 can be coupled with electrooptical device by scintillation component and constituted, when gammaphoton enters After detector, if interacted with scintillation component, fluorescence will be produced, fluorescence is turned by photoelectricity Parallel operation part is changed into electric signal (multiplication amplification).Scintillation component can be by scintillation crystal or scintillation crystal array Composition.According to one embodiment of present invention, as shown in Fig. 2 scintillation component 101 is by scintillation crystal battle array Row composition, the array is usually, multiple scintillation crystals, to be glued by additional reflecting layer, and by optical glue Knot assembles.Ordinary circumstance, single scintillation crystal is designed as the cuboid of rule.In order to by itself and light Electrical switching device is combined, it is necessary to a surface of scintillation crystal array is made opposed flattened, by grinding plus Work is optical coupled with electrooptical device to carry out.In terms of material, scintillation crystal array can be BGO (germanium Sour bismuth) crystal array or LYSO (yttrium luetcium silicate) crystal arrays or LSO (silicic acid lutetium) crystal array Deng.Electrooptical device can be PMT (photomultiplier), APD (avalanche photodide) or SIPM (silicon photomultiplier).Wherein, LYSO scintillation crystals have High Light Output, rapid decay time, visited Efficiency high, the low feature of cost are surveyed, SIPM has high-gain, low work compared to other electrooptical devices The features such as voltage, strong antijamming capability, combination can be used as a kind of preferred embodiment of the invention.
