Abstract
Feasibility studies of modern avalanche photodiodes (APDs), coupled to LSO scintillation crystals, have given encouraging results for new detector designs in positron emission tomography (PET). We constructed an experimental set-up for measuring the performance of new arrays of 2 × 8 detector channels of APD/LSO. This gantry allows us to simulate a complete ring of these array detectors and will ultimately serve as a simple and flexible small animal PET prototype.
