Can large-area avalanche photodiodes be used for a clinical PET/MRI block detector?
Abstract
We are investigating a high resolution, Angerlogic based PET block detector using large-area avalanche photodiodes (LAAPD). Such block detectors will be used in a simultaneous PET/MRI clinical scanner. Using a Monte-Carlo simulation tool, we systemically optimized the detector design taking into account the following factors: the dimensions of the scintillation crystal and the optical diffuser, the surface finish of crystals, the layout of APD …
