Description

Crystal module, detector and high-degree decoding method thereof
Technical Field
The present invention relates to emission imaging systems, and in particular, to a crystal module, a detector, and a method of highly decoding a detector.
Background
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is one of the most sensitive and quantitative measurement methods in functional molecular imaging, and is widely used for detecting early diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, tumors, cancers and the like. PET front-end detector modules are typically composed of an array of discrete crystal-coupled photosensors, such as PMTs (photodiodes tubes), siPMs (silicon photodiodes). The 511KeV gamma photon and the scintillation crystal generate annihilation reaction and are converted into visible light subgroup, the visible light subgroup is received by the photoelectric sensor, and the energy signal distribution detected by the sensor utilizes a gravity center algorithm (Anger Logic) to decode the position of the reaction crystal. In order to be able to detect metabolic disorders in the human body early and meet the requirements of clinical research, PET systems must simultaneously satisfy the performance of high spatial resolution and sensitivity. As the system edge radius increases, the spatial resolution is severely degraded by visual errors (parallelax errors). PET systems are capable of achieving high sensitivity without degrading the spatial resolution of the system and must have the ability to obtain Depth of Interaction (DOI) information of gamma photons in the scintillation crystal.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide a crystal module, a detector and a highly decoding method of the detector to accurately obtain the reaction depth of the scintillation crystal and improve the spatial resolution of the imaging system.
