Title:
POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY DETECTING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/019197
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A PET detecting device (112) may include a plurality of detection modules (220, 500) and a processing engine (140). Each of the plurality of detection modules (220, 500) may include a scintillator array (310, 510, 610, 710), one or more photoelectric converters (320, 520, 720), one or more energy information determination circuits(730) and a time information determination circuit (740). The scintillator array (310, 510, 610, 710) may interact with a plurality of photons at respective interaction points to generate a plurality of optical signals. The one or more photoelectric converters (320, 520, 720) may convert the plurality of optical signals to one or more electric signals that each include an energy signal and a time signal. The one or more energy information determination circuits (730) may generate energy information based on the one or more energy signals. The time information determination circuit (740) may generate time information based on the one or more time signals. The processing engine (140) may generate an image based on the energy information and the time information.
