SmartPET Project

SmartPET Overview : Helen Boston
•
•
Investigate use of Ge for purpose of PET
Aim is to show proof of principle for a small animal PET
demonstrator
• Can we use Ge properties to get a better image in a
shorter time?
• As energy resolution is very good, we can use much
more of the data
Require a detector system with good energy and time
resolution, and some way of getting good spatial
resolution
SmartPET Overview : Helen Boston
SmartPET Detectors
• Each detector houses an electrically segmented orthogonal strip
Germanium detector (DSSGeD)
• The active crystal volume is 60 x 60 x 20 mm
• 24 readouts per detector
• Strip pitch is 5mm
• Natural spatial resolution 5 x 5 x 20mm
• Electrical segmentation so
no loss in efficiency
• Each detector has a 72
hour LN dewar attached
• All angle dewar
• Mechanical cooler being
investigated
