Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a three-dimensional gamma-ray reaction position detection module using a cross-array of scintillation pixels,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to detecting a gamma ray reaction position, and more particularly, to gamma ray reaction position detection using a cross array of scintillation pixels.

In the case of acquiring images from positron emission tomography (PET), there is a problem that parallax errors cause the resolution of the image due to degradation of the resolution of the outer source. Therefore, there is a problem.

The PET apparatus is provided with a radiation detector module that receives a gamma ray when acquiring a tomographic image and converts the incident position and energy of the gamma ray to an electric signal, and is divided into a scintillation camera or a semiconductor detector.

The scintillation camera is composed of a scintillator composed of NaI crystals, BGO or LSO, and a photomultiplier tube (PMT). The gamma ray incident on the scintillator is converted into an optical signal, As shown in FIG. The semiconductor detector is constituted by arranging a plurality of semiconductor detection elements such as CdTe and CdZnTe, which generate charges due to the incidence of a gamma ray, in a planar (matrix-like) shape and discretely. However, in the conventional radiation detector as described above, when acquiring a tomographic image in a PET device, there is a problem that the spatial resolution due to the gamma ray incident on the surface of the detector module at the periphery of the measurement field is lowered. A technique for measuring the depth of gamma ray reaction in a radiation detector has become necessary.

Korean Patent Publication No. 1169708 discloses a method of detecting a reaction depth using a plurality of scintillators, but it is necessary to use many different types of scintillators when dividing the reaction site into several layers, So that there is a difficulty in manufacturing.

On the other hand, in the method of attaching the sensor on both sides and finding the depth of reaction through the ratio of light, a single type of scintillator is used. However, a pixel map is required for each scintillator module and reaction depth, There is a problem that it takes much time to manufacture. And a method and module for detecting gamma ray response depth are required.
