The positron discharge tomography - magnetic resonance tomography compound image pickup system and the avalanche photodiode based positron discharge tomography detector which is used for the simultaneous image pickup of positron discharge tomography - magnetic resonance tomography

摘要

APD based PET module is offered compound image pickup because of PET MR. Several became independent the detector which is separated optically is included in each module. For example in each detector, the scintillator which is grasped by APD array (, LSO) array of crystal is included. Module is arranged inside the tunnel of the MR scanner. With APD based PET and the MR system, it is possible, to obtain the picture which does not have arch fact simultaneously you can obtain the PET MR system whose cost efficiency is good with the result high resolution.
