Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical equipment, and in particular relates to a position encoding circuit, method and device of a PET detector. Background technique [0002] Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM for short) is a commonly used photodetector in recent years, which is used in nuclear medicine Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and nuclear physics research. The current PET detector research hotspot is high-performance position-sensitive detector, which usually consists of detector array, position encoding circuit and small scintillation crystal array. The principle of the position-sensitive detector is to determine the specific position of the crystal through the center of gravity of the scintillation light distributed in the detector array in the scintillation crystal. Since the number of channels of the detector array is usually large, the electronic complexity and cost will be high if the single readout method is used. The cur...
