Positologica: A Positron ECT Device with a Continuously Rotating Detector Ring
Norimasa Nohara,Eiichi Tanaka,Takehiro Tomitani,Mikio Yamamoto,Hideo Murayama,Yoshio Suda,Masahiro Endo,Takeshi Iinuma,Yukio Tateno,Fumio Shishido,Kenji Ishimatsul,Ken Ueda,Katsumi Takami +12 more
TL;DR: A rotary positron emission computed tomography device is developed for human brain and animal studies that utilizes 64 rectangular BGO detectors arranged at unequal spacing on a circular ring for high detector redundancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
"Positology"-the search for suitable detector arrangements for a positron ECT with continuous rotation
Eiichi Tanaka,Norimasa Nohara,Mikio Yamamoto,Takehiro Tomitani,Hideo Murayama,Kenji Ishimatsu,Katsumi Takami +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a continuously rotating positron ECT system, in which the detectors are arranged on a circular ring with "non-uniform" spacing so as to provide much finer sampling interval in the projections than the conventional circular ring system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics of a gamma‐ray detector using a bismuth germanate scintillator
TL;DR: In this paper, a gamma-ray detector that utilizes a 24×24×15mm3 bismuth germanate (BGO) scintillator is measured.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the design of a whole-body, multislice Positron CT with three detector rings, 160 BGO crystal/ring, and a continuously rotating scan is described.
Patent
Apparatus for detecting the location of incident radiation
TL;DR: In this article, an apparatus for detecting the location of incident radiation comprises at least one pair of assembly comprised of a scintillation crystal consisting of a plurality of crystal segments, and a pair of photo-multiplier tubes optically coupled to the crystal so as to be able to detect scintillations produced in any one of these crystal segments.
