Apparatus and method for improving uniformity of performance in positron emission tomography |
摘要 |
A method of arranging detector modules within a gamma ray detector apparatus, each detector module including an array of scintillation crystals to convert light into electrical signals, the light being generated in response to incident gamma rays generated by an annihilation event, the method including obtaining performance information of each of the detector modules, and determining a relative location for each of the detector modules within the gamma ray detector based on the obtained performance information of the detector modules. |

1. A method of determining a relative ordering of detector modules that are configured to be positioned within a predetermined region of a gamma ray detector apparatus, the method comprising:
obtaining performance information of each of the detector modules; and determining the relative ordering of the detector modules within the predetermined region of the gamma ray detector apparatus based on the obtained performance information of the detector modules. |
