Definitions
- the present invention relates to a DOI type radiation detector, and particularly suitable for use in the fields of nuclear medicine imaging and radiation measurement such as positron imaging apparatus and positron emission tomography (PET) apparatus, etc.
- the present invention relates to a DOI type radiation detector that can identify a crystal without waste even in a structure that is difficult to realize with a quadrangular prism scintillator crystal.
- a layer is identified by a wavelength obtained by sandwiching a filter that cuts a wavelength of a specific wavelength between layers (see Patent Document 6 and Non-Patent Document 6).
- Patent Document 8 uses a triangular prism scintillator and a light receiving element as auxiliary detectors for filling a gap when a quadrangular prism detector is arranged as a hexagonal PET detector ring. It is what is used.
- the crystal responses are arranged uniformly on the 2D position histogram because the separation between the crystal responses is further separated and the separation performance is improved.
- 3 layers or 6 layers may be optimal in consideration of the limitation of usable light receiving elements and data processing time.
- the response of each crystal can be shifted from the center.
- the reflecting material 52 is inserted for each hexagon with respect to the crystal arrangement of the closely arranged regular triangular columnar crystal elements 50. Then, the scintillation light generated from a certain crystal element 50 spreads to the other five crystal elements surrounded by the reflecting material 52, and enters the light receiving surface of the light receiving element with a wide range. Therefore, on the 2D position histogram shown in FIG. 8B, which shows the result of the anger settlement of the light receiving element output, the responses of the six crystal elements surrounded by the reflectors are close to each other. Here, the reason why the responses do not overlap with each other because the air 54 exists between the crystal elements limits the light spreading. As shown in FIG.
