研究目的
To develop and test PET detector modules for a dedicated mouse brain PET/MRI system that provides high spatial resolution and high gamma detection sensitivity.
研究成果
Configuration A demonstrated better performance in energy resolution (22.24% vs. 30.67% FWHM), timing resolution (1.4 ns inner layer vs. 1.8 ns), and peak-to-valley ratio, making it more suitable for a dedicated mouse brain PET/MRI system. The dual-layer DoI design effectively mitigates parallax errors and supports high spatial resolution and sensitivity.
研究不足
The study focused on PET detector development and did not address full system integration, MR compatibility, or interference with MRI systems. The evaluated detectors used existing crystal arrays that did not perfectly match the intended system geometries, and some crystals had to be excluded from analysis due to low statistics or overhang. The timing resolution measurements were convoluted with the PMT detector's performance.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved designing two PET system configurations (A and B) with dual-layer offset structures for depth of interaction (DoI) detection. Methods included using silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) and lutetium oxyorthosilicate (LSO) crystals, with Anger logic for crystal identification and data processing in MATLAB.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Existing LSO crystal arrays from Agile Engineering were used, irradiated by a 22Na source for measurements.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included SiPM arrays (e.g., S11828-3344M, S10985-050P(X)), optical diffusors, LSO crystals, preamplifiers (ADA4895), ADCs (V1742), constant fraction discriminators (CFD 102), and a PMT detector (R9800). Materials included optical grease (BC630) and reflector foil (Vikuiti).
4:0). Materials included optical grease (BC630) and reflector foil (Vikuiti). Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: For singles acquisition, the detector was irradiated without collimation; for timing resolution, a coincidence setup with a PMT was used. Signals were amplified, digitized, and processed to evaluate energy resolution, position profile, peak-to-valley ratio, and timing resolution. Measurements were conducted at 20°C in a dark box.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data was processed in MATLAB, using baseline correction, Gaussian fits for energy resolution, semi-automated peak finding for position profiles, and interpolation for timing resolution. Anger logic equations were applied for coordinate calculation.
