Abstract

The invention discloses a positron imaging method and system of a dual-readout PET detector. According to the system, photoelectric devices are arranged at two ends of crystal bar for coupling and areused for acquiring optical signal data in the crystal to carry out scintillation pulse data coupling; measured amplitude height of the pulse and arrival time of the pulse in the photoelectric devicesare recorded; and a difference value of the pulse arrival time and the amplitude height of the pulse are calculated and the position of the deposition energy of the gamma photon in the crystal is estimated. In addition, the method comprises the following steps: digitalizing a scintillation pulse coupling signal acquired by a photoelectric detector through an analog-to-digital converter; calculating the position of a photon conversion interaction depth according to the ratio of signal amplitudes at two ends of the detector; and performing interaction effect depth information reconstruction according to the energy, time and position information of the obtained signal. According to the invention, the action depth of the photon in the crystal is accurately located and action depth informationis obtained; parallax error correction is carried out; the interaction depth effect is effectively reduced; and the PET imaging effect is improved.
