We are developing the OpenPET which can provide an open space to make the patient observable and accessible during PET measurements. One of the key technologies for realizing the OpenPET geometry is the depth of interaction (DOI) detectors because the geometry has many oblique lines of response (LORs). Even if the DOI detectors reduce the blurring effect of the thick crystals, it is important to model...
Depth of interaction detector is essential to achieve high spatial resolution and high sensitivity. Our group has developed an isotropic 3D detector, X'tal cube. For the crystal block, a laser processing was applied to a monolithic crystal to generate laser-processed boundaries (LPBs) inside the crystal block. The LPB is expected to give appropriate photon scattering effect as well as reduction of...
A novel DOI detector with a stack of planer scintillators (SOPS) allows easier position estimation and simpler fabrication. To investigate suitable optical characteristics of the proposed detector, we constructed a Monte Carlo simulator. In this paper, we studied the relationship between the surface roughness of monolithic scintillator and the spatial resolution. We defined the parameter of scintillator's...
