DETECTOR MODULES FOR POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY AND THE POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY USING THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: Detector modules for positron emission tomography and a positron emission tomography using the same are provided to prevent the external loss of the detecting ring of a gamma-ray by forming a detection module. CONSTITUTION: In detector modules for positron emission tomography and a positron emission tomography using the same, a flash layer includes a plurality of flash body. A plurality of stick flash bodies are arranged in pixel type array. A pair of light diffusing layers are respectively connected to both ends of the flash layer. A pair of light diffusing layers diffuses a flashing light signal. A pair of photo sensor arrays(130) converts the flashing light signal into the electric signal. A pair of detection circuits detects the reaction site of the gamma-ray within the flash layer.
