Problems solved by technology

[0002] Existing PET detectors contain multiple crystal arrays, and scintillation crystals that capture gamma photons are arranged in the crystal arrays. The scintillation crystals convert captured gamma photons into visible light photons. The scintillation crystals have multiple surfaces, including The coupling surface and other side surfaces of the device, the side surface of each scintillation crystal is covered with a reflective layer, the reflective layer can prevent visible light photons from entering the adjacent scintillation crystal, but the reflective layer will absorb the photons emitted in the scintillation crystal, and detect The photons detected by the device are only a part of the photons emitted by the scintillation crystal, which reduces the detection accuracy of the detection device and reduces the spatial resolution performance, time resolution performance and energy resolution performance of the PET detector.

Abstract

The invention discloses crystal arrays and a detector ring used for a PET detector and the PET detector. The crystal arrays comprise a plurality of scintillation crystals, the surfaces of the scintillation crystals are smooth, adjacent scintillation crystals are arranged at intervals, and spacers are arranged in gaps of the adjacent scintillation crystals; the detector ring comprises a plurality of detection units, the detection units comprise detection devices and crystal arrays, and the detection devices are used for detecting information emitted by the crystal arrays; and the PET detector comprises the detector ring for the PET detector. Through the above arrangement, adjacent scintillation crystals in the crystal array can be coupled through air and spacers, so that the light output ofthe crystal arrays is increased, and the spatial resolution performance, the time resolution performance and the energy resolution performance of the PET detector are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a crystal array, a detector ring and a PET detector for a PET detector. Background technique [0002] Existing PET detectors include a plurality of crystal arrays. The crystal arrays are arranged with scintillation crystals that capture gamma photons. The scintillation crystals convert the captured gamma photons into visible light photons. On the coupling surface and other side surfaces of the device, the side surface of each scintillation crystal is covered with a reflective layer. The reflective layer can prevent visible light photons from entering the adjacent scintillation crystals, but the reflective layer will absorb the photons emitted in the scintillation crystal and detect. The photons detected by the device are only a part of the photons emitted by the scintillation crystal, thereby reducing the detection accuracy of the detection device and reducing the spatial...
