Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of crystal detectors, and more specifically relates to a method for optimizing the layout of discrete crystals in a polyhedron detector. Background technique
[0002] For the traditional annular PET system developed for whole-body scanning, when imaging the brain, most (>80%) of the signal is lost and not detected, resulting in low system sensitivity and low image signal-to-noise ratio, making it difficult to perform high-performance It is difficult to effectively observe the dynamic process of metabolism inside the brain.
[0003] The spherical PET system can be used for dynamic monitoring of the metabolism inside the brain. Due to the small radius, large solid space angle, less signal loss, and high crystal space filling rate, it has higher system sensitivity and spatial resolution. However, due to the difficulties in detector design, electronic system design and image reconstruction technology, spherical struct...
