Description
A novel detector module for Nuclear Medicine Imaging devices, such as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) detector which provides excellent energy and spatial resolution when compared to the current state-of-the-art PET detectors.
Innovation
  • Greatly improve the spatial resolution thanks to an extremely minimized voxel module size of 1mm x1mmx2mm.
  • Excellent energy resolution of 1-2% at an energy of 511 keV., thus reducing the scatter fraction from 40% to 4% and hence the noise of the reconstructed PET image get reduce.
  • Small Parallax and small scattered fraction implies the detection of cancerous lesion as small as 2mm.
  • Available to demonstrate as prototype
