| 内容記述 | A small animal positron emission tomography (PET) scanner employs a scintillation crystal with a small cross section to improve the spatial resolution. However, the identification of crystals becomes more difficult as the cross section of the crystal is reduced. In particular, the identification of edge crystals is more difficult than the central crystals. The aim of this study is to optimize a light guide design of a small animal PET detector to improve the resolvability of the edge crystals using GATEv6.2 optical simulation. The small animal PET module consists of an 11 × 11 array of pixelated LYSO crystals (0.92×0.92×10.0 mm3), a 1 mm thick light guide, and a 4 × 4 array SiPM (Hamamatsu Photonics, Japan; S13361-3050NE-04; each channel has an effective area of 3 × 3 mm2). The optical characteristics of LYSO and the SiPM were taken into account for the GATEv6.2 optical simulation. In order to improve the crystal resolvability in the edge and corner regions, four air slits were inserted into the light guide. The flood map was obtained with various slit depths of 0.2, 0.5, and 0.8 mm, respectively. The identification of the corner crystals could be improved by using a combination of a light guide thickness of 1 mm, and a slit depth of 0.5 mm without compromising energy resolution. In future, the optical simulation results will be validated by an experimental measurement. | |||||
