Abstract

A positron emission tomography detector for a multilayer scintillation crystal comprises a plurality of layers of scintillation crystals, a photoelectric detector system and an algorithm system, wherein the multilayer scintillation crystals comprises n layers of array scintillation crystals and m layers of continuous scintillation crystals, both n and m are integers which are greater than or equal to 1, the sum of n and m is smaller than or equal to 10, the array scintillation crystals are formed by arraying strip-type scintillation crystals along the width and length directions, the continuous scintillation crystals are scintillation crystals which have uncut inner parts, the array scintillation crystals and the continuous scintillation crystals are sequentially coupled along the height direction of the strip-type scintillation crystals to form the multilayer scintillation crystals, and the bottoms of the continuous scintillation crystals are coupled with the photoelectric detector system. The positron emission tomography detector can more accurately obtain the position and the time of energy deposition of gamma photon in the scintillation crystal, and has higher detection efficiency of the gamma photon, the spatial resolution, the time resolution and the flexibility of a positron emission tomographic imaging system can be improved when the positron emission tomography detector is applied to the positron emission tomographic imaging system, and further, the imaging quality of the system can be improved.
