Problems solved by technology

The silicon photomultiplier includes a SiPM sensor array (SiPM sensor array) composed of multiple SiPM sensors. These SiPM sensors are coupled with the scintillation crystal. Because the high-frequency part of the pulse signal collected in this way is seriously attenuated, and the detection time needs exactly the high-frequency part of the pulse signal, it will lead to inaccurate photon receiving time detection

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a positron emission computer tomography detector device. The device comprises a silicon semiconductor detection array, wherein the silicon semiconductor detection array comprises a plurality of silicon semiconductor detection units; the cathodes of the plurality of silicon semiconductor detection units are connected with a power supply; the anodes or the cathodes of the plurality of silicon semiconductor detection units are taken as first signal output ends which are connected with corresponding time detection circuits; the number of the time detectioncircuits is more than 1 and is smaller than or equal to the number of the first signal output ends, by reducing the number of the silicon semiconductor detection units connected to the same time detection circuit, the capacitance effect of the silicon semiconductor detection units for collecting pulse signals is weakened, thus the attenuation degree of the high-frequency part in the pulse signalsis reduced, and the detection accuracy for gamma photon receiving time is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of nuclear detectors, in particular to a positron emission computed tomography detector device. Background technique [0002] This section is intended to provide a background or context for implementations of the invention that are recited in the claims. The descriptions herein are not admitted to be prior art by inclusion in this section. [0003] Positron Emission Computed Tomography (PET) is one of the most advanced medical diagnostic equipment at present. Its principle is to inject isotope-labeled drugs that can release positrons in the human body into the human body, such as carbon, One or two isotopes of fluorine, oxygen and nitrogen. These drugs have an annihilation effect when participating in the physiological metabolism of the human body, generating two gamma (γ) photons with the same energy and opposite directions of motion. [0004] With the difference in the ability of different parts of the h...
