摘要：

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 X 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.
