NUCLEAR MEDICINE DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM, POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPH AND DETECTOR UNIT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a nuclear medicine diagnosis system capable of significantly shortening a period of time required to attach semiconductor radiation detectors thereto. SOLUTION: The nuclear medicine diagnosis system such as a PET (Positron Emission Tomography) apparatus or the like has a unit supporting member and a plurality of detector units which are detachably attached to the unit supporting member. The detector unit 2 is provided with a chassis 30 (container member) or the like containing and supporting followings: twelve coupling substrates 20; a high voltage power supply PS supplying the twelve coupling substrates 20 with voltage for collecting charges; a unit integration FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Allay) 31 which is an integrated circuit used for unit integration; a signal connector which sends / receives signals to / from external devices; and a power supply connector for receiving power from the external devices.
