SCINTILLATION LIGHT DETECTION SYSTEMS AND METHODS BASED ON MONOLITHIC SCINTILLATORS

摘要

The present invention discloses detector structure and arrangement based onmonolithic scintillationmaterials, and discloses direct methods of resolving three-dimensionalposition (X, Y, Z), energy (E), andtime of absorption events of high energy photons in monolithic scintillatorsusing explicit mathematicalformulas, for applications such as gamma ray detection and imaging, andpositron imaging.
