Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to detecting a gamma ray reaction position, and more particularly, to gamma ray reaction position detection using a cross array of scintillation pixels.
In the case of acquiring images from positron emission tomography (PET), there is a problem that parallax errors cause the resolution of the image due to degradation of the resolution of the outer source. Therefore, there is a problem.
The PET apparatus is provided with a radiation detector module that receives a gamma ray when acquiring a tomographic image and converts the incident position and energy of the gamma ray to an electric signal, and is divided into a scintillation camera or a semiconductor detector.
The scintillation camera is composed of a scintillator composed of NaI crystals, BGO or LSO, and a photomultiplier tube (PMT). The gamma ray incident on the scintillator is converted into an optical signal, As shown in FIG. The semiconductor detector is constituted by arranging a plurality of semiconductor detection elements such as CdTe and CdZnTe, which generate charges due to the incidence of a gamma ray, in a planar (matrix-like) shape and discretely. However, in the conventional radiation detector as described above, when acquiring a tomographic image in a PET device, there is a problem that the spatial resolution due to the gamma ray incident on the surface of the detector module at the periphery of the measurement field is lowered. A technique for measuring the depth of gamma ray reaction in a radiation detector has become necessary.
Korean Patent Publication No. 1169708 discloses a method of detecting a reaction depth using a plurality of scintillators, but it is necessary to use many different types of scintillators when dividing the reaction site into several layers, So that there is a difficulty in manufacturing.
On the other hand, in the method of attaching the sensor on both sides and finding the depth of reaction through the ratio of light, a single type of scintillator is used. However, a pixel map is required for each scintillator module and reaction depth, There is a problem that it takes much time to manufacture. And a method and module for detecting gamma ray response depth are required.
The present invention provides a method and module for detecting a reaction position of a three-dimensional gamma ray by positioning a sensor on a top surface, a bottom surface, and a side surface.
The present invention also provides a method and module for detecting a three-dimensional gamma-ray reaction position using a small number of sensors in a single scintillator, but without any additional correction.
According to one aspect of the present invention, the three-dimensional gamma ray reaction position detecting module includes a first scintillator group in which at least one bar-shaped scintillator is arranged in parallel, a first scintillator group optically connected to the rear surface of the first scintillator group, And at least one bar-shaped scintillator is arranged in parallel with the first scintillator group and the second scintillator group in a direction rotated by 90 degrees with respect to the first scintillator group and the first or second scintillator group, And at least one sensor for sensing the light generated by the interaction of the light sources.
At this time, the joined portions of the scintillators placed in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction are optically connected without being treated with the reflector material.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a three-dimensional gamma ray reaction position detecting module, comprising: a first scintillator group arranged so that N rod-shaped scintillators are arranged in parallel, a first scintillator group optically connected to the rear surface of the first scintillator group, A second scintillator group in which M rod-shaped scintillators are arranged in a direction rotated 90 degrees with respect to the first scintillator group, and N bar-shaped scintillators arranged optically connected to the rear surface of the second scintillator group and rotated 90 degrees with the scintillators in the second scintillator group And at least one sensor that is optically connected to the first, second, or third scintillator group and senses light generated by interaction with the gamma rays. The first, second, and third scintillator groups constitute N / 3 submodules, and the second column of the submodules is rotated 90 degrees with the first and third columns to be optically connected.
According to still another aspect of the present invention, a three-dimensional gamma-ray-responsive position detecting scintillator is optically connected to the first scintillator group arranged in parallel with the bar-shaped scintillators and to the rear surface of the first scintillator group, And a second scintillator group in which rod-shaped scintillators are arranged in parallel in a direction rotated by 90 degrees, wherein the first or second scintillator group is optically coupled to at least one sensor for sensing light generated by interaction with gamma rays .
According to the present invention, an accurate gamma ray reaction position can be found without correction and a three-dimensional pixel map can be generated.
According to the present invention, a gamma ray reaction position is searched through a three-dimensional pixel map, a pixel map is easily created, and a correction operation with an actual reaction position is unnecessary.
According to the present invention, it is convenient to apply to a system because data processing is simple by using a small number of sensors and the cost for the detector module configuration is minimized.
